Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out the 1 puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut into 4 rectangles.

  2. Step 2

    Place 2 oz salmon, 2 asparagus spears, 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, and a few thin carrot slices on one half of each pastry rectangle. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Fold the other half over the filling and press edges with a fork to seal. Cut 2 small slits on top for steam.

  4. Step 4

    Bake for 15-18 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown, and salmon is cooked through (flakes easily).

  5. Step 5

    Serve warm with 2 tbsp yellow sauce drizzled over each parcel.
