Salmon Vol au Vents Recipes

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 1 cup cooked salmon, diced
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped (plus more for garnish)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

2. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles, then use a smaller cutter to make rings in half of the circles. Stack the rings onto the solid circles to create the vol-au-vent shells.

3. Place the shells on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the beaten egg. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Set aside.

4. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the broth and heavy cream, cooking until thickened.

5. Stir in Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add the diced salmon and chives, mixing gently to combine. Remove from heat.

6. Fill the baked puff pastry shells with the creamy salmon mixture. Garnish with extra chives and serve warm.
