Savory Salmon Puff

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is so easy to make! Just spread the salmon mixture between the two sheets of puff pastry and bake! Although it is really not necessary to chill the salmon mixture overnight, I find that chilling really improves the taste. I made this using leftover fresh salmon fillets it was delicious! All ingredients can be adjusted to taste."

This was a very savoury and very delicious treat for supper tonight! I cut the recipe in half. I made the salmon mixture last night, using fresh broiled salmon fillets and low fat mayo and no fat cream cheese. Next time I will use half the salt. I also brushed egg on the whole Puff. It took me about 10 minutes to prepare dinner tonight, which is great after a long day at work! Made for Think Pink tag. Thanks Kittencal! :)

This was fabulous! A very simple way to make a variation of salmon wellington. A delicious combination of flavors. Served with asparagus and rice. Wonerful!!
