Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large salmon fillet, about 800 grams, skin removed
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, about 250 grams, thawed but chilled
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 200 grams green beans, trimmed
  • 1 cup canned white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper, then spread Dijon mustard evenly over the top and sprinkle with chopped fresh dill.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry slightly on a lightly floured surface to fit the salmon.
  4. Place the salmon in the center of the pastry, fold the pastry over to fully enclose it, and seal the edges. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Brush the pastry with beaten egg and lightly score the top.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp and the salmon is cooked through.
  7. While baking, blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain well.
  8. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic briefly, then add green beans and white beans. Toss with lemon juice and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until warmed through.
  9. Slice the salmon en croute and serve alongside the warm bean salad.

Notes

  • Keep the puff pastry chilled until ready to use for the best flakiness.
  • Pat the salmon dry before wrapping to prevent soggy pastry.
  • Rest the baked salmon for 5 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 10 minutes to restore crispness.
