• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• ½ medium onion, chopped
• 5 oz. fresh baby spinach
• 1 t. salt, for spinach
• 1 t. pepper, for spinach
• ⅓ c. bread crumbs

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter; add garlic and onions; cook until translucent. Add spinach, salt and pepper; cook until spinach is wilted. Add bread crumbs, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and dill; stir until mixture is evenly combined. Remove from heat; set aside.
3. On a cutting board, smooth out puff pastry sheet. Place salmon in the middle of the pastry; season both sides with salt and pepper. Place several spoonfuls of the spinach mixture on top of the salmon, smoothing it out so that it doesn't spill over the sides.
