Alternatively, you can replace it with a "smart" puff pastry, ready in just a few minutes. As for the salmon, make sure it's top-quality, with a uniform color and no dark spots, and firm, compact flesh.
If you prefer, you can also use spreadable cheese instead of provolone, flavor the filling with a few sprigs of dill, or add a pinch of freshly ground pepper.
