Salmonwellington Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Sprinkle salt on both sides of the salmon. Mix the thyme, oregano, basil, dill, mustard, and mayonnaise in a small bowl and spread over the salmon, then sprinkle the feta cheese on top. Layer the spinach over the feta cheese.
• Roll the pastry out wide enough and long enough to wrap around the salmon, about 1/4 inch thickness. Place the salmon in the center of the pastry and fold the pastry over the salmon. Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet. Cut several small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape. Brush the egg white onto the pastry.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Season the salmon with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a pan, heat butter, chopped shallots, and garlic over medium heat. Sauté until the shallots become translucent.
• Bring the heat to high and add the white wine. Let the liquid cook out for about 5 minute, then add the cream cheese and sauté for 1 minute.
• Lastly, add the spinach, bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Sauté just until the the spinach softens.
• Unfold the puff pastry onto a light floured surface and roll out the 2 sheets, then cut them in half. So you end up with 4 pieces. I made each piece about 10X 14 inches.
• Place each seasoned salmon fillet in the middle of each puff pastry sheet. Depending on the size of the fillet, you may need to roll out the puff pastry a little more or less. Leave about 2 inches around the edges.
• Divide the spinach mixture into 4 equal parts and evenly spread it on top of the 4 fillets. Then brush the edges of the puff pastry with egg wash (1 egg + 1 tsp water).
• Begin folding the the puff pastry over starting with the longer side. When folding over the short edges, brush more of the egg wash before folding.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon wellington seam side down.
• Make crosshatch slits on top of the Wellington with a knife. Then brush with more egg wash.
• Bake at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Clean and stem the spinach. Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Saute the garlic for a few minutes before adding the spinach, salt and pepper. Cook the spinach only until wilted. Set aside.
• Prepare hollandaise sauce according to package directions, keep warm.
• Take sheet of puff pastry, and roll out to flatten and seal seams. Cut into four squares. Place 1/4 spinach in the center of one pastry square. Place a salmon fillet, better side down on the spinach. Wrap the pastry by bringing the opposite corners of pastry into the center, until salmon and spinach are covered. Brush lightly with egg wash. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Turn the Wellingtons over, so that the flat, smooth side is the top. Brush top with egg wash. Place on a baking tray lined with the parchment paper or sprayed with cooking spray and bake 15 to 18 minutes or until pastry has turned golden brown.
• Serve with hollandaise sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, red onion and tarragon and saute until the onion mix is soft, about 10 minutes. Add the wine, raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Let the liquid cook off, add the salt and pepper, and remove from the heat and set aside. Let cool before using.
• Unfold 1 pastry sheet and lay it on a lightly floured surface. Brush 1 edge with the egg wash and overlap the other sheet by 2 inches. Roll the pastry out until it's big enough to fold around the salmon. Spoon the cooled leek mixture down the center of the pastry, place the salmon on top of the leeks and fold the pastry over the salmon. Egg wash the edges to seal and press well. Place the salmon parcel seam side down on a sheet pan. Brush with egg wash and place in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes before slicing. Slice and serve with Dijon Whipped Cream.
• Pour the cream into a chilled stainless steel bowl and whisk until soft peaks begin to form. Add the mustard, salt and pepper and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the garlic, shallots and mushrooms in a food processor and pulse to chop finely.
• Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the white wine; reduce over high heat until the mixture is dry. Off the heat, stir in creme fraiche, Dijon and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1 sheet of the puff pastry into a 12-by-8-inch rectangle, and then cut into quarters. Place a small stack of spinach leaves on the short side of two of the quarters. Top with a salmon fillet and about 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture. Brush the pastry edges lightly with egg wash, top with the remaining quarters and crimp the edges. Place the packages on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining puff pastry sheets and ingredients.
• Brush the tops of the Wellingtons with egg wash, and cut vents with the tip of a sharp knife.
• Bake until puffed and golden, about 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with Dill-and-Caper Creme Fraiche Sauce.
• In a small bowl, whisk to combine the creme fraiche, cream, dill, capers and some salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out each pastry sheet on lightly floured surface to 12-inch square. Cut each in half, forming four 12x6-inch rectangles. Place 1 salmon fillet in center of each rectangle, about 3 inches in from and parallel to 1 short edge. Sprinkle each fillet with salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon shallots and 1 tablespoon tarragon. Brush edges of rectangles with some glaze. Fold long sides of pastry over fillets. Fold short edge of pastry over fillets and roll up pastry, enclosing fillets. Seal edges of pastry. Place pastries, seam side down, on baking sheet. Brush with glaze.
• Bake pastries until dough is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes. Meanwhile, boil wine, vinegar and 2 tablespoons shallots in heavy small saucepan until liquid is reduced to 6 tablespoons, about 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add butter 1 piece at a time, whisking until melted before adding next piece. Whisk in 2 teaspoons tarragon. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
• Cut pastries into thirds. Place sauce and pastries on 4 plates.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• In a pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add the garlic and onions, cooking until translucent.
• Add the spinach, salt, and pepper, cooking until spinach is wilted.
• Add the breadcrumbs, cream cheese, parmesan, and dill, stirring until mixture is evenly combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
• On a cutting board, smooth out the sheet of puff pastry. Place the salmon in the middle of the pastry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Place several spoonfuls of the spinach mixture on top of the salmon, smoothing it out so that it does not spill over the sides.
• Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the salmon and spinach, starting with the longer sides and then the shorter ends. Trim any excess pastry from the ends, then fold the ends on top. Flip the puff pastry-wrapped salmon over and transfer for a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the beaten egg on the top and sides of the pastry. Score the top of the pastry with a knife, cutting shallow diagonal lines to create a crosshatch pattern.
• Brush the top again with the egg wash.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until pastry is golden brown.
• Slice, then serve!
• Enjoy!
