🥗Healthier: trout

💰Cheaper: canned salmon

Canned salmon is more affordable and still flavorful.

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: phyllo dough

💰Cheaper: homemade pastry dough

Homemade dough can be less expensive and healthier.

dill

💰Cheaper: parsley

Parsley is often cheaper and can be used as a substitute for flavor.

Preheat the oven.

Sauté diced onion in a skillet until translucent.

Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the onion.

In a mixing bowl, combine thawed spinach, cream cheese, lemon juice, and crumbled feta cheese.

Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets.

Place the salmon filets on the pastry; spread the spinach mixture on top.

Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg to seal.

Fold the pastry over the salmon and pinch to seal; trim excess pastry.

Place the wrapped salmon seam-side down on a baking sheet.

Brush the top with more beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using).

Bake until golden brown and flaky.
