Lay Bake O Glide liner on a baking tray. Place 1 pack of puff pastry onto the liner (use ready rolled puff pastry)
Place the salmon side in the centre of the puff pastry sheet, spread the spinach filling on top of the salmon fillet.
Insert the second sheet of puff pastry sheet on top of the salmon and spinach side. Press the pastry down, you may have to tuck the corner away to make it look more like a parcel.
Similarly, make sure you cut away any excess pastry and fold the edges of the first sheet of pastry up to meet the second.
Using a fork (also some beaten egg) to seal the two sheets together all around the edges.
Furthermore, with the excess pastry, cut off you can make decorations for the parcel
After that, chose a sharp knife to score the top of the parcel in a criss-cross pattern, remember to cover all over, and try not to cut into deep.
