Salmon on Puff Pastry

Ingredients

• 4 pieces of purchased puff pastry, each cut to be just larger than a piece of salmon
• 4 (4 to 6-ounce) pieces salmon
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• 1/4 cup purchased pesto (I made from scratch using this recipe)
• 2 tomatoes, sliced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
On a foil-lined baking sheet, place the 4 pieces of puff pastry. Also
place the 4 pieces of salmon, being careful to make sure they are not
touching. Sprinkle each piece of salmon with 1 tablespoon of the sliced
almonds. Bake for 10 minutes.

To serve, place each piece of puff pastry on a plate. Top each puff
pastry with 1 tablespoon of pesto. Top the pesto with 2 slices of
tomatoes each. Top the tomatoes with the salmon and serve.

We had about 6 adults and 2 kids, so we cut up roughly 8 pieces of puff pastry and put them on one baking sheet and put all the salmon on a separate baking sheet and baked at the same time. The salmon was drizzled with a little olive oil & kosher salt and pepper. This was also a good recipe for the kids because I could fed them the salmon sans the pesto, which they both liked. Also we used a big spoonful of pesto for each piece of salmon. Overall, very good. This is something you'll definitely need to plan for (do most people have salmon, puff pastry or pesto on hand?) but it was worth the planning. This would also be great for a party by making everything miniature (small pieces of salmon on puff pastry) Oh and Chris has issues with tomatoes… I know, sac-relig so we nixed them on this recipe.

Thanks, Brittney!
