Prep Time
• Prep time: 15 minutes
• Cook time: 25 minutes
• Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients
• thinly sliced lemon
• capers, for garnish
• fresh dill, for sprinkling
• 3 to 4 ounces smoked salmon
• 2/3 cup whipped cream cheese
• quick pickled onions, for garnish
• 1 to 2 tbsps everything seasoning
• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen
• 1 large egg + 1 tsp water, lightly beaten for egg wash
For everything seasoning:
• 1 tbsp poppy seeds
• 1 tsp flaked sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp dried minced garlic
• 2 tbsps dried minced onion
• 2 tbsps toasted sesame seeds also added in black sesame
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Place a sheet of puff pastry on the baking sheet. Poke holes all over the puff pastry with a fork. Brush the entire thing with the egg wash. Sprinkle the edges of the sheet with the everything seasoning.
- Bake the puff pastry for 20 to 25 minutes, until it’s golden brown and puffy, If it’s puffed up a lot in the center, you can poke it with a fork to deflate it a bit.
- Let the pastry cool slightly. Gently spread the cream cheese over the tart. This will be tricky because it will lift a few flakey bits from the top of the pastry, but that’s okay! That’s why it is important to use whipped cream cheese - it is light and fluffy and not as heavy as the non-whipped cream cheese.
- Layer the smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese. Sprinkle on the pickled onions, fresh dill, capers and another pinch of everything seasoning. Add on a squeeze of fresh lemon. Slice and serve.
- For everything seasoning: Stir everything together until combined. This makes extra so store it sealed in your pantry.
