We probably have salmon once a week, with a salad, as a healthy meal. I thought we should have something different today, so created this.
Having made this many times now, I have increased the quantity made from 2 to 4 but left the ingredients as they were.

Ingredients
Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- A 500 g (1lb) packet of Jus Rol pre-made puff pastry
- Two salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into four pieces
- 1 lemon
- 200 g low fat cream cheese
- 4 spring onions, chopped
- 2.5 cm (1") ginger, skinned and very finely julienned, then chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Method
- Marinade the salmon fillets in the juice of 1 lemon for as long as you can, turning now and again. 3 or 4 hours is fine if you have the time.
- Pre-heat the oven to 200° C (400° F - gas 6)
- Finely chop the spring onions, julienne the ginger and stir into the cream cheese
- Season the cream cheese mixture with black pepper
- Slice each of the four fillets in half length-ways, so you have two fairly thin fillets
- Roll out the pastry into four pieces large enough to wrap four puffs
- Season the fillets with salt and pepper
- Lay one fillet on the pastry, top with a generous amount of cream cheese mixture
- Lay the other half of the fillet on the cream cheese and fold the pastry over the top and crimp with a fork to make a good seal
- Make a few slashes in the top to allow steam to escape
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the pastry has risen and is golden brown
