  • 4 Servings
  • Prep: 30 min. Bake: 15 min.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 12 asparagus spears, trimmed and halved widthwise
  • 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons egg substitute
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)
  • 4 salmon fillets (4 ounces each)

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil; add asparagus. Cook for 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse under cold water; pat dry and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, egg substitute, onion, tarragon, salt and pepper; set aside. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface with a short side toward the bottom; spray with cooking spray. Repeat with one more sheet of phyllo. Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent drying.
  • Spread 2 rounded tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over the bottom third of the rectangle to about the size of a salmon fillet. Top with six asparagus halves and one salmon fillet. Fold sides and bottom edge over fillet and roll up enclose salmon; trim end of phyllo if necessary. Spray with cooking spray.
  • Place seam side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 4 servings.
