Salmon in Puff Pastry
Ingredients You Will Need:
1/2 pound canned pink Alaska salmon
1 package ready-made puff pastry
Milk for brushing
2 cucumbers, peeled and diced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon plain flour
1/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly chopped tarragon (optional)
Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Drain can of salmon, reserve the juice. Set aside. Roll out pastry to 1/4-inch thick, and cut it into four 3-inch rounds. Stand, rolled side down on a dampened baking tray for 30 minutes. Brush upper surface with milk. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden. Cool. Sprinkle cucumber with salt, and let rest 15 minutes. Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour, and then salmon juice and milk. Bring to boil. Mix well. Rinse cucumber, and add it to the mixture. Also add cream, tarragon and salmon. Blend well. Cut each pastry round into 3 slices crossways. Pile half the salmon filling onto bottom slices. Place middle layers on top and remaining filling over these. Top with puff pastry tops. Serve hot with vegetables.
