Fish in puff pastry is not only an amazingly tasty treat, but also an original decoration for any festive table. The creation of this dish does not require much time, and the process of cooking fish in puff pastry is so simple that even the most inexperienced housewife can handle it.
It is necessary
-
- 700 g fish fillet (trout
- salmon or salmon);
- 70 g softened butter;
- 350 g ready-made puff pastry;
- 1 lemon;
- 1 egg;
- 1 tomato;
- dill or parsley;
- 5 medium-sized mushrooms;
- 1 tbsp. a spoonful of dried basil;
- pepper and salt to taste.
Instructions
Step 1
Turn on the oven before cooking fish in puff pastry. It must be heated up to 200 degrees.
Step 2
Thoroughly wash the fish fillets in running water and pat dry in a cotton towel. Rub the fish well with salt and pepper. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon on it and let the fish soak.
Step 3
Finely grate the lemon zest, mix it with butter, basil and finely chopped dill or parsley. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the resulting mass.
Step 4
Cut the mushrooms into slices and fry them in vegetable oil until lightly browned. Cut the tomatoes into thin slices.
Step 5
The size of the puff pastry layer should be such that the whole fish fits on it. Place the fillets on top of the dough and spread with a mixture of butter, lemon zest and herbs. Put fried mushrooms on top, and tomatoes on top of them.
Step 6
Wrap the fish filling or cover it on top with a layer of dough the same size as the bottom layer. Brush the edges of the pie with a beaten egg. This is necessary so that they stick together better. Secure the edges with pinching movements of your fingers around the entire perimeter of the pie. As a result, you should have a tight envelope. Make sure there are no holes in it.
Step 7
Brush the top of the pie with the remaining beaten egg. Use a toothpick to make 3 small holes for the steam to escape and transfer the cake to a greased baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake the dish until golden brown for 20-30 minutes in a preheated oven.
