Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup white wine (optional)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
4 cups fresh spinach
Fresh dill, for garnish
-
Recipe:
Preparation of Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Cut the puff pastry into four squares, large enough to wrap around the salmon fillets. Place a salmon fillet on each pastry square, brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash, then fold the pastry over the salmon, pressing to seal. Brush the outside of the pastry with egg wash.
Baking the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the wrapped salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Tomato-Cream Sauce: While the salmon bakes, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, sautéing until translucent. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to soften. Pour in white wine (if using) and let it reduce slightly. Stir in heavy cream and thyme, simmering until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Wilted Spinach: In another pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach and cook until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
Serving: Place a generous amount of wilted spinach on each plate. Top with a salmon en croûte and drizzle with the tomato-cream sauce. Garnish with fresh dill.

Decadent Ultimate Chocolate Brownies with Sea Salt Flakes
-
Ingredients:
1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
1 cup (100g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, cold
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup (175g) chocolate chips or chunks
Sea salt flakes, for topping
-
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the brownies out easily.
Melting Chocolate and Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the sugar and cocoa powder until fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Adding Eggs: One at a time, whisk in the eggs to the chocolate mixture, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt. Gradually fold this into the chocolate mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Be careful not to overbake.
Finishing Touches: As soon as the brownies come out of the oven, sprinkle the top with sea salt flakes. The heat will help them stick to the surface and enhance the chocolate flavour.
Cooling and Serving: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cool, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares.
Serve these ultimate chocolate brownies as a luxurious treat, with their rich, gooey center and a perfect hint of sea salt to balance the sweetness. Ideal for a sophisticated dessert or a sumptuous snack, they promise an unforgettable chocolate experience.
