Ingredients:
– 1 lb salmon filets
– 2 large pears, peeled and sliced
– 1/2 cup sliced almonds
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 10 sheets phyllo dough
– 1/4 cup melted butter
– 1 tbsp honey
– 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Season the salmon with salt and black pepper, then cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In the same pan, add sliced pears and sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough and brush with melted butter. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets.
5. Arrange the cooked salmon filets and sautéed pears on top of the phyllo sheets, leaving a little space around the edges. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and chopped thyme.
6. Roll the phyllo dough into a tight log and tuck the edges in on the sides. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush with additional melted butter.
7. Bake the strudel in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
8. Drizzle the top with honey before slicing and serving.
