Puff pastry salmon

Try this easy to prepare puff pastry salmon recipe, which
Leaves your salmon, moist, tender and flavourful. I just wanted something different and did not want the same old ways of cooking salmon.

The recipe required soured cream and I hate it, soft cheese and I needed my mascarpone cheese for dessert. My husband hates garlic so I threw that out from the recipe too. I substituted sour cream with a tablespoon of double cream and soft cheese with Greek yoghurt. Recipe required bread soaked in milk and I hate the idea so I opted for freshly made bread crumbs (why use ingredients you don't like just because the recipe says so? Experiment, play around and enjoy).
 
1 sheet puff pastry (or make your own like I did), 3 salmon fillets, 3 tbs Greek yoghurt, 1tbs thick cream, handful chives, few leaves parsley (both leaves finely chopped) fresh bread crumbs (from 3 slices of white bread) 1 tsp butter and salt and pepper to taste. Egg yolk to seal and the pastry. I made six parcels you can always double the ingredients and roll out your pastry a bit more thinner. Mix all ingredients except bread crumbs and yolk.
Place fillet onto pastry, layer with the cream mixture then top with bread crumbs, fold pastry into a parcel and seal with egg yolk. Brush top of pastry with egg to give a shine, bake in preheated oven at 150deg Celcius for 30minutes.
