Ingredients

1/2 lb asparagus
2 tbsp sour cream
1 tsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
1/2 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb salmon filet
1 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
10 tbsp unsalted butter
6 tbsp cold water
1 egg

Steps

Cook the asparagus in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and cool.
Mix the sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and salt in a small bowl.
Combine both flours and salt, cut in the butter, add cold water, and form a dough; chill it for 20 minutes.
Roll the dough into a rectangle, spread on the sour cream mixture, and layer the asparagus and salmon in the center.
Fold the dough around the filling, seal the edges, brush with beaten egg, and chill for 15 minutes.
Bake on a baking sheet at 400 F for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden and the salmon reaches 145 F.
Rest the pastry for 10 minutes before slicing.
