Layered pastries with salmon and feta cheese
Description
To prepare these light and delicious pastries, you don't need to be a culinary expert. We'll be using ready-made puff pastry, which often comes in handy when you need to bake something quickly without spending time making dough from scratch. The filling requires just a few ingredients, and the resulting puff pastry turnovers will be incredibly tasty. Serve them with soup or broth for lunch instead of bread, or enjoy them with a sweet evening cup of tea. Let's get cooking!

1. Thaw the pastry dough for turnovers in advance. It's better to use unsalted fish; however, if you can't find it but still want to make the turnovers, you'll need to soak the brinza cheese in water to remove excess salt.
