Salmon En Croute

What is it?

Salmon fillet sits with a herb and cream cheese filling, all wrapped in puff pastry and baked until the pastry turns crisp and the fish stays enclosed. It comes as a ready-made frozen meal for two, so you heat it in the oven rather than assemble anything yourself. Compared with other Charlie Bigham’s dishes, this leans more towards a classic oven-baked centrepiece than a saucy tray bake. The filling brings moisture and seasoning to the salmon, while the pastry provides the outside structure and a flaky shell.
