In a pot, heat the water with the butter and salt. When the butter has melted, add the flour all at once and stir until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pot.
Remove from heat and add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir vigorously, as the elasticity of the dough forms at this stage.
Using a piping bag, pipe the puffs to the desired size. Beat the egg and brush it over the puffs, rounding their shape nicely.
Bake for 25 minutes at 180°C. Be careful not to take them straight out of the oven at the end of baking, as they may deflate. Leave the oven door ajar for 10 minutes before removing them.
For the filling: Cut the salmon into very small pieces. Keep one third for decoration. Mix the remaining two thirds with the other filling ingredients.
Cut a cap off each puff and fill it with the mixture prepared earlier. Top with small pieces of salmon and put the cap back on.
And there you have it, your salmon cream puffs are ready!
