  • Remove skillet from the heat
  • Spread the puff pastry sheet onto a counter and roll to 1/8 of an inch thick
  • Cut in half
  • On each rectangle of dough, place 2 spoonfuls of the mushroom mixture and top with salmon
  • Starting with the corners, wrap dough over the salmon, creating a package

  • Place sealed side down on a non-stick cookie sheet and make small slit in the top to let steam escape
