Canned salmon is more affordable and still flavorful.

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

Chop up an onion.

Sauté the onion with 2 tablespoons of butter until translucent.

Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the pan.

Squeeze 2 cups of spinach and add it to the pan.

Mix in 4 ounces of cream cheese and 1 tablespoon of capers.

Remove the leaves from fresh thyme and chop them up; add to the mixture.

Zest and juice 1 lemon into the mixture; season with salt and pepper and mix well.

Turn off the heat once mixed.

Remove the salmon side from the package and dry it; season with salt and pepper.

Unroll the frozen puff pastry onto a flat surface.

Place the salmon side on the puff pastry.

Spread the cooled spinach mixture evenly on top of the salmon.

Brush the edges of the puff pastry with egg yolks to help seal it.

Place another piece of puff pastry on top and press gently to seal.

Brush the top with more egg yolk.

Use a lattice cutter to create a pattern on a third sheet of puff pastry; lay it on top of the assembled salmon.

Trim the sides of the pastry as needed.

Dot the top with capers using your fingers.

Bake in the oven at 400°F for 30 to 35 minutes.
