  5. Roll out the puff1 pastry, place the filling in the center, and pinch the edges together.

Tips

Why it works
Рыбу нарезай кусочками 2–3 см, чтобы она равномерно пропеклась и не осталась сырой внутри. Если куски слишком большие, корочка подгорит, а середина останется сырой.
Substitutions
За горбушу возьми филе минтая или трески — по 98 г. Вместо сливочного масла используй растительное (7 г), но лук обжарь на среднем огне, чтобы не подгорел.
Common mistakes
Если тесто начнет подниматься в духовке до выпечки, проколи его сразу — иначе корочка лопнет. Заметишь по пузырям на поверхности.
Storing and reheating
Храни в холодильнике 2 дня. Разогревай в духовке при 180 °C 15 минут, накрыв фольгой. Морозить нельзя — начинка размокает.
Serve with
Подавай с квашеной капустой и стаканом холодного кваса. Подходит для семейного обеда или праздничного стола.
