Salmon salad croissant. Recipes and tips for easy cooking.

Salmon salad croissant

This dish was served in the Odessa cafe Di Alpino. It was invented by the chef Ivan Pilipenko, who had a passion for dishes with meat. He cooked everything with meat, except perhaps the desserts 🙂 But sometimes a fish day “attacked” Ivan, and he cooked everything with fish, for example, this salmon salad croissant. It’s a pity the cafe has already closed. And now, to eat this dish, you have to work hard in your kitchen. But by spending your time on it, you will receive a delicious snack as a reward.

My tips and tricks:

Of course, you know that a genuine croissant should be puffy, buttery, and crunchy. It stays that way for the whole day after baking, if you don’t have time to eat it. But if you plan on using it the next day, here’s my advice on how to make it crispy again. Wrap a fresh croissant neatly in foil, place it in a plastic bag, and leave it in the refrigerator until you need it. Before serving, put it in preheated to 180˚C oven, of ​​course, without foil and a plastic bag :), for 3 minutes. When stored this way, the croissant retains its moisture, so it will become crispy again in the oven, but not dry.
