Salmon And Creamcheese Puffs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine smoked salmon, feta cheese, black pepper and garlic.
• Roll out puff pastry on lightly floured surface to form a 12x12 inch sheet. Cut sheet into 16 3x3-inch squares. Place a spoonful of salmon filling in the center of each square. Pull together corners of each square to form 16 small packets. Brush packets with egg whites and place on prepared baking sheets. (The puffs can be frozen at this point. See Editor's Note.)
• Bake in preheated oven until pastry is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Unfold the pastry, and cut out rounds with a 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter (you should get roughly 40). Space them at least 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly score the center of each round with a 3/4-inch cookie cutter (don't press all the way through). Lightly brush each round with the egg.
• Invert another rimmed baking sheet on top of the dough rounds, and bake for 5 minutes. (Covering the rounds helps them puff straight up evenly.) Remove the top baking sheet, and continue to bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes more. Let the rounds cool completely on the baking sheet, then use the handle of a wooden spoon to gently punch a hole in the middle of each round. (The baked pastry can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 day or frozen for up to 1 month.)
• Meanwhile, microwave the vinegar and sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl, covered, for 30 seconds; let cool. Reserve 1 teaspoon of the vinegar, and finely chop the tomatoes. Finely shred the cucumber, and squeeze out all the excess moisture. Mash together the tomatoes, reserved vinegar, shredded cucumber, cream cheese, chives and 1/4 teaspoon salt with a fork in a medium bowl until smooth. Transfer the cream cheese filling to a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag (cut off the tip). (The filling can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
• Tear or cut the salmon into 40 small pieces, and roll each into a rough rosette shape. Pipe some of the filling into each puff. Top each with a piece of salmon, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. (The salmon puffs can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours.)

Steps:

• Thaw puff pastry sheet. Cut into 6 squares.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Mix salmon, cream cheese, sour cream, parsley, green onions, seasoning, hot sauce and salt & pepper.
• Scoop about 1/4 to 1/2 cup salmon mixture onto each puff pastry square.
• Bring corners of puff pastry together and pinch closed.
• Combine egg & water for an egg wash and brush on top of puff pastry.
• Cook in 425 oven for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the salmon, soft cheese, dill and a little seasoning until just combined. Unroll a sheet of puff pastry and cut into 3 pieces lengthways. Divide the filling along the middle of each piece, brush borders with beaten egg, then fold up and seal.
• Cut each roll into 8-10 bite-size pieces, then place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, cover with cling film and freeze. To serve, glaze with beaten egg and cook at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 25-30 mins until puffed and golden.

Steps:

• Heat oil in deep fryer or in deep heavy saucepan until hot but not smoking.
• In a bowl, separate salmon with a fork.
• Add flour, egg, parsley, salt,lemon juice, and black pepper.
• Mix thoroughly.
• Add baking powder to 1/4 c. milk and with a fork beat until foamy
• Pour this mixture into salmon and mix until well blended.
• Using 2 teaspoons, scoop up mixture with one spoon and with the other spoon, slide mixture into the hot oil.
• The puffs will cook quickly and are done as soon as they are brown.
• Remove puffs from oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
• Serve immediately with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• In a pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add the garlic and onions, cooking until translucent.
• Add the spinach, salt, and pepper, cooking until spinach is wilted.
• Add the breadcrumbs, cream cheese, parmesan, and dill, stirring until mixture is evenly combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
• On a cutting board, smooth out the sheet of puff pastry. Place the salmon in the middle of the pastry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Place several spoonfuls of the spinach mixture on top of the salmon, smoothing it out so that it does not spill over the sides.
• Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the salmon and spinach, starting with the longer sides and then the shorter ends. Trim any excess pastry from the ends, then fold the ends on top. Flip the puff pastry-wrapped salmon over and transfer for a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the beaten egg on the top and sides of the pastry. Score the top of the pastry with a knife, cutting shallow diagonal lines to create a crosshatch pattern.
• Brush the top again with the egg wash.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until pastry is golden brown.
• Slice, then serve!
• Enjoy!
