Ingredients

• 220 g Salmon
• 350 g Zucchini
• 240 g Puff pastry
• 1 Shallot
• 80 g Fresh cream
• 40 g Grated cheese
• 2 tbsp Dill finely chopped
• Ground pepper
• 2 pinch Salt
• 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

• Wash the zucchini; slice into 5-6mm thick (1/4-inch);
  
• Place slices onto a baking tray; brush with olive oil; sprinkle lightly with raw salt;

  Put in the oven; bake for 10-15 minutes;
  
• Finely chop the shallot;
  
• Finely chop (or tear up) the dill;
  
• When the zucchini has sweated well and become translucent, turn upside down and continue to bake for 10 minutes;
  
• Slice the salmon into even pieces of 5-6mm thick (1/4-inch);
  
• Preheat the oven, 210°C (410°F, 6);
• Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward and pinch to raise a 1cm (3/8-inch) edge;
  
• I choose individual puff pastry square; do the same for a bigger one to share;
  
• In a bowl, whisk an egg;
  
• Beat in the fresh cream; add in the herbs;
  
• Brush the puff pastry with some of the egg mixture;
  
• Bake for 10 minutes until the puff pastry has risen;

  Turn down the oven temperature to 180°C;
  
• With the edge of a tablespoon, mark the puff pastry along the inside edge; then push down the puff pastry center;
  
• Spoon onto the pastry the rest of the egg mixture;

  Arrange the zucchini and the salmon; be imaginative!
  
• Sprinkle with grated cheese, shallot, and aromatics herbs; season lightly with ground pepper;
  
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until well golden;

  Enjoy!
