Directions
1.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Stir the sour cream, cucumber and 2 tablespoons dill weed in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
2.
Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry sheet into 3 strips along the fold marks. Cut each strip into 2 rectangles. Place the pastry rectangles onto a baking sheet.
3.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Let the pastries cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Split each pastry into 2 layers, making 12 layers in all.
4.
Heat the broth, wine, black pepper and remaining dill weed in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat to a boil. Add the fish to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
5.
Spread 1 tablespoon sour cream mixture on each of 6 bottom pastry layers. Top each with 1 fillet fish, 1 tablespoon sour cream mixture and a top pastry layer. Discard the broth mixture. Serve the Napoleons with the remaining sour cream mixture.
