Zucchini and Salmon Rolls in Puff Pastry
Smoked salmon and cream cheese is a classic combination that marries the understated saltiness of the fish with light buttery smoothness. To create our tasty little rolls, we've also thrown fresh zucchini and crisp puff pastry into the mix for some added texture. It only takes four ingredients and you'll have the perfect appetizer in no time!
Equipment
- Baking tray
- Baking parchment
Ingredients
- 1 roll puff pastry
- 1 zucchini
- 4 tbsp cream cheese
- 7 oz smoked salmon in slices
Instructions
- First cut the zucchini into thin slices. Then roll out the puff pastry and cut it lengthwise into four equally-sized strips.
- Sprinkle some flour on the countertop before laying the first strip of puff pastry on top. Now spread one tablespoon of cream cheese along the top half of the strip.
- Lay the zucchini slices along the upper half of the puff pastry slightly above the cream cheese so that they're tightly packed. Then place the slices of salmon along the center of the pastry strip next to each other — half on the zucchini, half on the cream cheese.
- Fold the part of the pastry strip that is free of filling over the strips of salmon, making the pastry strip thinner in the process. Roll up the strip into a flower shape.
- Place the rolls on a baking tray covered with baking parchment. Bake at 355°F for 20 minutes until the pastry is nice and crispy.
