Spinach and feta strudel with fresh wild salmon

Time

Preparation time: 1 hr. 20 min.
Cooking or baking time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Total preparation time: 1 hr. 30 min.

Fresh from Finland, I got 2 large wild salmon, one of which I processed into a spinach-feta strudel.

ingredients

I needed that big piece of salmon

• 2 rolls of puff pastry from the refrigerated counter
• 1 TK packet of spinach coarsely chopped
• 2 packs of feta
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 3 onions
• 1 egg
• 1 cup of crème fraîche
• Nutmeg, salt, pepper, optionally a sprig of thyme
• Oil and butter for frying
• lemon

preparation

Step 1: The salmon

1. In the pan, the oil is heated.
2. The salmon is fried with the skin side up (short) until the bottom is lightly browned.
3. Carefully turn over with 2 pan lifts.
4. Salt lightly and drizzle with lemon juice, optionally with a sprig of thyme in the pan.
5. Add chopped garlic cloves and butter and froth.
6. Fry as long as the skin side is cooked, overflowing with butter from the pan over and over again.
7. Remove the finished salmon from the pan and set aside.

Tip in the tip

With a very simple trick, one determines whether the salmon is cooked:

If the salmon feels the same way as the skin between the thumb and the index finger, the salmon is perfect:

Inside a little glassy and crispy on the outside.

Step 2: The spinach

1. Thaw roughly chopped TK spinach in a colander, then squeeze well.
2. Finely chop onions and brown in the fat of the pan.
3. Heat the spinach in a little milk and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg
4. Stir in 1 cup of crème fraîche, mix with the onion cubes

Step 3: The puff pastry

1. Roll out the puff pastry on the baking sheet and make a few irregular cuts with a fork.
2. Spread the spinach on top, then add the crumbled feta cheese and place the fried salmon on top.
3. Cover with another layer of puff pastry.
4. Squeeze the ends well, decorate with a fork if necessary.
5. Possibly place an ornament out of excess puff pastry.
6. Whisk the egg and coat the puff pastry well with the edges.

Brown in the oven to 180 degrees for about 45 minutes.

This fits and is enough completely a green salad.

If you like, you may want to add a light cold sauce made of sour cream, yoghurt, pepper, lemon juice, salt, and freshly chopped parsley.
