Delish!

This is a great easy recipe that is simply delicious! I didn't add the tomatoes but I would agree to let the pastry cool... before stacking everything. Read more

Quick, Easy and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I came across this recipe looking for a pesto recipe. As luck would have it I was cooking salmon and had puff pastry in the... freezer. Only changes I made was preparing my own pesto, cooking the salmon separate and using parchment paper. It was definitely a hit, would make it againRead more

Try roasted red peppers
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made the recipe following recommendations to make the pastry and the salmon separate and I put some olive oil and grill... salt on the salmon before baking. Then instead of tomatoes I used jarred roasted red peppers. Let the puff pastry cool then build. It was great and my husband was amazed. Read more

Great, super easy and Impressive too!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Absolutely fantastic recipe! And very easy too! It does need a bit more sauce. I used a Newburg Sauce along side the pesto... for variety. It was a big hit!Read more
