Notes on Ingredients:
Puff pastry is now widely available in supermarkets internationally—look for “all-butter puff pastry” in the refrigerated or frozen section. If you can’t find it, you can substitute with shortcrust pastry (known as “pâte brisée” in French) for a similar but slightly sturdier result.
Smoked salmon is usually sold in thin slices and can be found in the chilled fish section of most grocery stores. If unavailable, you can replace it with good-quality canned salmon (drained) or, for a different flavor, thin slices of smoked trout.
For the onion, use yellow or red depending on taste—both add sweetness and depth.
For tomatoes, choose ripe but firm salad tomatoes or plum (Roma) tomatoes. If you can’t find fresh tomatoes, good-quality canned tomatoes (drained) can be used, but fresh is preferable for the right texture.
