Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Drain chopped spinach using a paper towel, squeezing out excess liquid.

Place drained spinach in a bowl.

Add softened cream cheese to the bowl with spinach.

Grate about 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese and add to the mixture.

Season the mixture with 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; mix well.

Roll out a refrigerated pastry sheet to make it wider, careful not to tear it.

Season the skinless salmon fillet with a little salt and pepper.

Place half of the cheese mixture in the center of the pastry sheet.

Lay the salmon on top of the cheese mixture.

Add the remaining cheese mixture on top of the salmon, covering it well.

Fold the pastry over the salmon, pinching to seal and cutting off excess pastry if needed.

Flip the wrapped salmon seam-side down onto a baking sheet.

Cut slits on the top of the pastry for decoration, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Brush the top of the pastry with a lightly beaten egg.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool slightly before slicing.
