Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh dill in your pesto. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1/2 cup of dried dill.
  • To make sure the salmon is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have puff pastry sheets, you can use pie crust dough instead.
  • To make the pastries ahead of time, assemble them and then freeze them. When you're ready to bake them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then bake them according to the recipe instructions.
  • Serve the pastries warm with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream or tartar sauce.
