Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Thaw the puff pastry

Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2
Prepare the salmon

Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any bones, if necessary. Cut the salmon into 4 equal portions.

3
Make the pesto

In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic cloves, zest and juice of the lemon, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until a smooth paste forms.

4
Assemble the puff pastry

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to a 12x12-inch square. Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares.

5
Spread the pesto

Place a salmon portion in the center of each puff pastry square. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the pesto over the top of each salmon portion.

6
Wrap the salmon

Fold the corners of the puff pastry up and over the salmon, pressing the edges to seal. Place the wrapped salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam-side down.

7
Brush with egg wash

In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush the beaten egg over the top and sides of each puff pastry package.

8
Bake the pesto salmon puff pastry

Bake the pesto salmon puff pastry for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.

9
Serve

Remove the pesto salmon puff pastry from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional basil leaves and Parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy the delightful combination of flaky salmon, vibrant pesto, and buttery puff pastry!
