    Smoked Salmon Cups with Marscarpone & Fresh Dill | The Good Hearted Woman

    Wild-caught Alaskan salmon is, by far, my favorite animal-based protein. Salmon is sustainable, delicious, and perfect for any occasion - from elegant wedding reception to late night pajama party.

    Besides being a delicious and environmentally conscious choice, few foods contribute so much to your health as [wild caught] Pacific salmon. Salmon has a long list of proven health benefits:

    • Provides a good source of vitamins, proteins, and minerals
    • Helps maintain insulin levels in the body
    • Reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease
    • Improves memory and efficacy of brain functions
    • Helps prevent macular degeneration
    • Reduces risk of colon, prostate and kidney cancers
    • Aids in maintaining healthy skin and hair

    Salmon can even help you sleep!

    I use every bit of puff pastry dough that I can. You can use the extra dough to create lovely little garnishes and accents!

    Equipment

    • 1 small biscuit cutter

    Ingredients

    US Customary - Metric
    Salmon Filling
    • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese*
    • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
    • Dash Worcestershire sauce
    • Dash hot pepper sauce or Sriracha
    • 6 ounces smoked salmon chopped
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
    • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
    Pastry Cups
    • 2 sheets puff pastry barely thawed
    • 1 egg beaten

    Instructions

    Salmon Filling:

    • In a medium bowl, whip together mascarpone, whipping cream, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce until smooth and light.
    • Fold in chopped salmon, dill, and lemon zest.
    • Put filling into a pastry bag and set aside. (A Ziploc bag will work too.)
    • Pastry Cups
    • Preheat oven to 400° F.
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Lay puff pastry out on a floured surface. DO NOT ROLL OUT!
    • Cut one puff pastry sheet into small circles, about 1½ - 2 inches across. Put these circles on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Cut the second puff pastry sheet into small circles (the same size). Cut a small circle out of the middle of each one of these circles. Save the small circles!
    • Brush each of the circles on the baking sheet with beaten egg.
    • Place one "donut" pastry circle on top of each of the egg-washed circles.
    • Brush the top of the donut circles with egg-wash.
    • Cut small decorative shapes from remaining puff pastry, to be used as garnish.
    • Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.
    • Pipe each pastry cup full of filling. Garnish with fresh dill and small pastry shapes.

    Notes

    * Yes, you can substitute cream cheese. ?

      These look so pretty and fancy. I love the tiny garnishes, too! We used to use the leftover scraps of dough to make pretty designs for our pies, but I never thought to do it like this!
