Herbed Salmon Wellington Recipes

SALMON WELLINGTON

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.

SALMON WELLINGTON

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Leave the salmon in the refrigerator.
• Melt the butter in a small bowl or saucepan. Stir in the Dijon, lemon zest, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet. Add the spinach in large handfuls, cooking until it wilts, about 1 minute. Stir in the garlic, thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir in the Parmesan. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water to act as an egg wash. Set aside.
• Place the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface and roll it into a 12x14-inch rectangle. With a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry in half crosswise so you are left with two rectangles that are 12 x 7 inches each.
• Remove the salmon fillets from the refrigerator and place on a plate. Brush the tops of the fillets liberally with the butter mixture, then place each fillet, butter-side down, in the center of a piece of puff pastry. Spoon half of the cooled vegetables over the top.
• Fold one side of the puff pastry over the top of the fillet like a flap, so that it partially covers it, then brush the top of the flap with egg wash. Fold the next side, adhering it to the first if the flaps are large enough to touch (the egg wash should act as a "glue"), then brush its top with egg wash. Repeat until all 4 sides are folded over. It should be as if you are wrapping up the salmon like a delicious present. Don't stress over the order of the flaps. As long as it's well sealed and covers the salmon, you're golden. Carefully flip the salmon over and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet, with the folded side underneath. Repeat with the second fillet.
• Brush the tops of the puff pastry with egg wash, then with a sharp knife, score shallow, diagonal lines in each direction in a crosshatch pattern.
• Bake the salmon for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown. Let cool a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve hot.

PUFF PASTRY SALMON (SALMON WELLINGTON) RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

SALMON WELLINGTONS

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.
