Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
  • 8 oz salmon fillet
  • 8 spears asparagus spears
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 medium carrot
  • ½ cup yellow sauce (e.g., hollandaise or lemon-dill sauce)

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out the 1 puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut into 4 rectangles.

    Fold the other half over the filling and press edges with a fork to seal. Cut 2 small slits on top for steam.

  4. 4

    Bake for 15-18 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown, and salmon is cooked through (flakes easily).

    Serve warm with 2 tbsp yellow sauce drizzled over each parcel.
