Lemon pepper salmon en croute

Salmon en croute sounds like a dish you would order in a french restaurant and pay big bucks for it. I'll tell you a secret, its really quick and easy and all you need is a piece of salmon, a dough and some kind of a sauce to use for "glue". Here is my version, enjoy!

Ingredients:

4 slices of salmon fillet ,skin off sprinkled with juice of half a lemon to take away "fishiness"

1 T oil

4 5" flaky dough squares

3 T mayo

2 t lemon pepper spice mix

1 t lemon juice

1 egg 

Preheat oven to 375

Place flaky dough squares on cookie sheet. Mix mayo with lemon pepper spice mix and lemon juice. Spread a small line of the mixture across each square. Cut slits 1" apart on each side to create strips for braiding. 

Heat up a frying pan with 1T oil and fry each salmon about 30 seconds each side, until they are light pink. Put aside to cool. Once salmon cooled off, place each slice on top of the mayo mixture across each flaky dough square. 

 Start "braiding" by taking first strip of dough and folding over salmon and continuing with the other side overlapping each other. When you get to last piece just tuck it under the fish in order not to open up by baking

Beat up egg and add few drops of water to egg mixture. Brush each piece lightly with eggs

Bake it for 20 minutes or until its golden brown.

Bon appetit!
