This was a fun recipe.
I enjoyed making and eating it.
It's also something I would make again.
Yay! Three out of three!

So basically it is salmon with a cream/spinach sauce in a pastry crust.
Now....I'm going to share a secret family recipe.
For crust.
3 ingredients
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of cold butter
1/4 cup - with one egg
and if their is room in the cup measure liquid of your choice
I used orange juice this time, but I've used wine, other juices and milk in the past.
Grind your flour and butter together. Mix your egg and liquid together.
Mix egg/liquid into flour/butter. Form into a ball and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Roll out the dough.
This dough is very nice to work with and can be rolled out paper thin, if you want.
Cutting out some shapes for the top of the salmon packages.
I made this in November, so leaves seemed appropriate.
$1 fillet of salmon topped with cream cheese, spinach, dill, a little onion, salt and pepper.
Egg washing pastry cut outs on to the salmon packages.
Pastry leaves.
More egg washing.
After baking.
Yummy!
Looks fancy.
