Ingredients

• 1 pound Salmon fillet
• 1 sheet Gluten-free puff pastry
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Unroll the gluten-free puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. If necessary, roll it slightly to accommodate the salmon fillet size.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillet in the center of the pastry. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the salmon.

Step 5

Beat the egg with water in a small bowl to make an egg wash.

Step 6

Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash.

Step 7

Fold the pastry over the salmon to encase it completely, trimming any excess dough if necessary. Ensure the seams are pressed well to seal.

Step 8

Place the wrapped salmon seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with more egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Make a few small slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing to serve.
