IngredientsÂ
1-1.5 lbs salmon
4 oz of mascarpone cheese (an 8 oz container, use half)
2-3 large handfuls of spinach
Rind of 1 lemon and lemon juice of half a lemon
half an onion
Pasty sheets (I use 7 layers)
1 handful of chives
3 garlic cloves
2 TB of butter
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Steps
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
1. Dice up onion, garlic, and spinach. Pan fry in oil till soft and season with salt and pepper. Set aside
2. Dice chives, and lemon rind, and set aside
3. Place mascarpone in a bowel and add in the spinach mixture, lemon rind, chives, and juice of half a lemon. Mix well
4. Place pastry cheese on a board and layer a thin layer of the mascarpone mix onto the pastry. Layer the salmon so it’s even and season with salt and pepper, then another layer of the mascarpone mix, then the salmon seasoned with salt and pepper, then 1 last layer of the remaining mascarpone mix
5. Melt the butter and brush around the salmon (like in the video) and fold over so it is a nice tight package. Butter the edges of the pastry and fold close.
6. Place the pastry so the seams point down into a skillet. Butter the top and season with salt and pepper.
7. Place in a 400 degree oven. Cook for 20 minutes then remove and let rest for 10
8. Slice up and enjoy!
