  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add garlic and onions, cooking until translucent.
  • Add spinach, salt, and pepper, cooking until wilted.
  • Stir in breadcrumbs, cream cheese, Parmesan, and dill until evenly combined. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • On a floured surface, smooth out the puff pastry sheet. Place the salmon in the middle and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the salmon.
  • Fold the long edges of the puff pastry over the salmon and spinach. Trim excess pastry, fold the shorter ends on top, and seal. Flip the wrapped salmon onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down.
  • Brush the top and sides with beaten egg. Score shallow diagonal lines on top with a knife to create a crosshatch pattern. Brush again with egg wash.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  • Slice and serve hot.

Serving Suggestions
