Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drizzle the salmon filet with neutral oil, season with kosher salt, granulated garlic, and lemon zest. Bake for 10-12 minutes until it flakes easily. Let cool and shred.
  2. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry and cut into squares for the muffin tin. Pre-bake for 5-6 minutes until slightly puffed.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Add a pinch of kosher salt.
  4. Distribute watercress, shredded salmon, and parboiled potatoes into the pastry cups. Sprinkle with dill and scallions. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and filling is set. Cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
