Salmon, Mushroom and Spinach En Croute

As part of the Foodbuzz taste maker program we get to experiment in the kitchen with food products, recently we were given a coupon for pepperidge farm puff pastry. I was a bit scared as I have never cooked with it before.

I just couldn't resist trying my hand at Salmon En Croute, using some lovely wild Alaskan salmon. I decided to make a filling with mushrooms and spinach with fresh dill and mustard, it was fun to make and delicious and I was so proud of myself.

So next time you are really wanting to make something new go on give it a try you'll have a blast!
