(Recipe) Sheet Pan Tart with Asparagus and Smoked Salmon
Who can resist this sheet pan tart? It has a wonderfully crispy crust topped with fresh green asparagus and smoked salmon. It’s so delicious that you could eat it every day.
Why Green Asparagus?
I’m a big fan of green asparagus, though I enjoy white asparagus too. However, green asparagus is easier to prepare since it doesn’t require peeling. Its flavor is also richer compared to white asparagus. Of course, if you prefer white asparagus, you can definitely use it for this tart.
The Dough and Toppings
The tart is enriched with red onion, frozen peas, fresh herbs, and smoked salmon. Importantly, add the smoked salmon after the tart comes out of the oven to avoid drying it out, which would be a pity.
Spreading the Base
Start by spreading crème fraîche over the sheet of puff pastry. It’s preferable to use rectangular puff pastry for ease, although circular puff pastry can also work.
After spreading the crème fraîche, leaving a 1 cm edge, top the tart with asparagus, red onion, and peas. Then, bake in the oven until golden brown and cooked through.
Finally, after letting the tart cool slightly, distribute slices of smoked salmon over the top. Serve immediately while warm or lukewarm to keep the crust crisp.
