Quench briefly, drain on paper towels and roll out into a mat (spinach mat: gently pull apart the drained, unpressed spinach, place on a clean kitchen towel, cover with a second kitchen towel and then roll flat with a rolling pin. Carefully peel off the top kitchen towel. )

Place the second sheet of pastry on top, shape it tightly around the salmon and press the edges of the pastry together. Cut off the protruding edges of the dough to create a clean dough package.
