Salmon en Croute. Salmon fillet is baked in a puff pastry pocket with onion, mushrooms, and spinach in this elegant French-inspired salmon en croute recipe. The day before you want to assemble the en croûte, mix the salt and sugar in a bowl. Scatter half of the mix over a tray, then lay one of the salmon fillets on top, skinned-side down, and scatter with more of the salt mix. Lay the second fillet on top, skinned-side up, and sprinkle over the rest of the salt mix. Peel, finely slice and add the garlic.
Croute means crust and so 'en croute' refers to anything in a pastry crust.
It's a great dish to double up on and make in bulk - store leftovers for a later date but bear in mind the pastry will go soggy if you re-heat in the microwave, so be sure to heat it back up in the oven the next day.
