Secrets of perfect salmon in puff pastry

1. Salmon – health on a plate: It's a source of protein and Omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. Always choose fresh fish with a vibrant pink colour.
2. Perfect puff pastry: The best is butter-based – it has a distinct flavour and browns beautifully. If the pastry is too soft, chilling it in the refrigerator will make it easier to shape.
3. Surprise with add-ins: You can enrich the filling by adding spinach, feta cheese, or sun-dried tomatoes – they will enhance the taste of the salmon and make the dish even more special.
