The crust of this pastry is crunchy and good. I brushed melted butter on top five minutes before it finished baking. I also squeezed lemon juice on the salmon. The acid in lemon juice neutralizes the strong fishy taste left behind by bacteria formed in the flesh of the fish. The fish paired well with the cheese and leafy greens.
