3. Arrange slices of smoked salmon over the cream cheese.
4. Place thin slices of cucumber over the salmon, then sprinkle with fresh dill.
5. Bake the puff pastry in the oven until golden brown (typically 12-15 minutes, but check the pastry instructions).
6. Once baked, cut into squares or slices and serve warm.

** Serving: Makes about 6-8 servings.

** Approximate Calories: About 300-350 calories per serving, depending on the puff pastry and the amount of cream cheese used.
