Storage Tips

So, you've got leftovers of this Puff pastry salmon ? No worries! You can keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days .

Just make sure it's in an airtight container. Now, freezing this Stuffed salmon recipe isn't ideal, as the pastry can get a bit soggy when thawed.

But hey, desperate times, eh? Reheat in the oven at 350° F ( 175° C) until heated through. Don't microwave it unless you want a soggy mess!

Variations

Feeling adventurous? For a Salmon and spinach twist, you could add some sun-dried tomatoes to the filling. Gives it a lovely Mediterranean vibe.

Or, if you're avoiding gluten, you can even find gluten-free puff pastry these days. Not quite the same, but still pretty good! For a lighter Fish Dinner try using less Feta.
