The flavors are good. The bottom pastry was soggy. If we try again, we'll use a grate inside a cookie sheet so heat can crisp the bottom too... hopefully. I wonder about cooking the spinach first, to get the liquid out before it gets wrapped in pastry. Also, the vague ingredient descriptions require a bit of experience in the kitchen. i.e. how big is a salmon filet? 1/2 a box of pastry sheets? No photo makes it hard to imagine en croute rolled like a cinnamon roll. So, does it look like a pinwheel when you're done?

I really liked the filling in this recipe. And it was so easy to make! I could not find Bearnaise Sauce so I used a Lemon Dill sauce by Knorr and it worked well. The one problem I had was with the crust. Although it was golden and flakey on the outside, it seemed a bit undercooked on the inside. If anyone has any suggestions on how to remedy this, I will gladly try this recipe again.
