Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lay thawed puff pastry on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
Step 2
Melt butter with sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it turns golden and smells nutty, ~3 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from heat. Stir in chopped nuts and cream until the mixture is thick and glossy, coating the nuts evenly.
Step 4
Spread the nut mixture evenly over the pastry sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Bake until golden and puffed, ~12 minutes.
Step 5
While still hot, spread apricot jam thinly over the nut layer. Sprinkle fleur de sel across the top.
Step 6
Scatter chopped chocolate over the warm pastry; let it melt 1 minute, then spread with a spatula. Cool 5 minutes, cut into 16 triangles, and serve.
