Flaky Salt and Black Pepper

To Serve:

2-3 Tbsp Honey (To Drizzle.)

2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
3. Peel beets and slice them into thin rounds. Toss beets in 1 Tbsp. olive oil and roast for 10min.

(Approximately 2 minutes.) Add 1 Tbsp. brown sugar and 1 Tbsp. malt vinegar. Stir to dissolve the sugar – a caramel-like sauce will form around the onions. (Approximately 1 minute.) Remove from heat.

Open and drain liquid from both Oregon’s Choice Gourmet Chinook Salmon. In a bowl mix Gourmet Chinook Salmon, 3 oz. goat cheese, 2 tsp. lemon Juice, and 1 tsp. pepper. Set it aside.

Bake for 20 minutes until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown. Remove Galette from the oven and leave to stand for 10 minutes. Place a plate over the puff pastry and flip the contents in the skillet onto the plate. Sprinkle with honey and parsley as desired.

Method Two: Pan

Fold the edges of puff pastry to hold ingredients together. Bake for 20 minutes until the pastry is puffed up. Remove the tart from the oven and leave to stand for 10 minutes.
