Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  3. Slice salmon steak into 12 thin slices. Arrange salmon slices on a large flat plate, sprinkle remaining dill, three teaspoons of lemon juice (optional), and small pinch of sea salt over salmon slices.

  5. In a small bowl combine egg and water.
  6. Fold one corner of the pastry square over the salmon, brush with egg wash. Fold opposite corner over the first fold, brush with egg wash to seal.
  7. Bake 18-20 minutes or until salmon and pastry dough are fully cooked.
