Puff The Magic Salmon Recipes

SALMON TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly flour the countertop. Roll puff pastry so there are no seams. Cut into 4 squares.
• In a bowl, combine salmon, mushrooms, pickle relish, rice, scallions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each square. Brush inside edges of puff pastry with egg wash and fold over to make a triangle. Using a fork, seal the edges. Poke a slit or two in the top of each turnover. Brush tops with egg wash. Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

SALMON EN CROûTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the spinach. Cook, stirring often, until the spinach wilts. Once wilted, stir in the cream cheese until melted. Stir in the parmesan cheese and the lemon juice.
• Place the sheet of puff pastry on a baking sheet. I like to lay a bed of creamed spinach right in the center, about the size (or slightly smaller) than the salmon filet. Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper. Place it right on top of the spinach.
• Wrap up the puff pastry, folding in all sides until the salmon is covered. Gently flip it over so the seams are on the bottom. Brush the pastry all over with the egg wash - on the tops and side. Score the pastry a few times on top.
• Bake the pastry for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden and crisp on the outsides. Remove and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice and serve!

SALMON WELLINGTON

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.
