SALMON WELLINGTON

Steps:

• Drizzle the salmon with the lemon juice. Heat the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook for 5 minutes or until it flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning the salmon over once halfway through cooking. Remove the salmon from the skillet.
• Add the mushrooms and onions to the skillet and cook until they're tender and any liquid is evaporated, stirring often. Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet. Cover and refrigerate the salmon and the mushroom mixture for 1 hour or until chilled.
• Heat the oven to 400°F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork. Carefully remove the skin from the salmon.
• Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 14-inch square. Cut into 4 (7-inch) squares. Spoon the mushroom mixture in the center of the pastry squares. Top each with 1 salmon piece. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg mixture. Fold the corners of the pastry up over the salmon and press to seal. Place seam-side down onto a baking sheet. Brush with the egg mixture.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Serve the pastries with the Dilled Cream Sauce (recipe below).
• Dilled Cream Sauce: Stir 3/4 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill weed or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed, crushed, in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth.
• Make-Ahead: The cooked salmon and the mushroom mixture can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

BAKED SALMON IN PUFF PASTRY WITH CREMINI MUSHROOM DUXELLE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Duxelles: Rinse and thoroughly pat dry cremini mushrooms before using a food processor or sharp knife to finely mince. Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until soft. Stir in cremini mushrooms and simmer for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the mushrooms to cook down while their moisture evaporates. Add white wine, thyme and salt. Simmer for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in whipping cream. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate. Makes 1 cup. Note: I froze the remaining Duxelles, for a month. It thawed perfectly, and was delicious spread over puff pastry and rolled, sliced into pinwheels. Bake at 400°F for about 10 to 12 minutes. Elegant yet easy to prepare, salmon wellington makes a lovely entrée for a dinner party or evening in as the puff pastry parcels can be prepared and refrigerated for up to two hours before being baked. Wellington: Cut puff pastry into four equal 5-inch x 8-inch (13-centimeters x 20-centimeters) sheets. Approximate measurements are suitable. Spread 1/4 cup mushroom duxelle evenly onto each sheet of puff pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch (1 centimeter) margin at the edges. Place a salmon fillet in the center of each prepared pastry, seasoning each with a sprinkle of salt. Fold up edges in a lengthwise and press puff pastry together to seal a seam across the center of the salmon fillet. Flip pastry over so that seam is hidden and gently press the sides together to close. Note: I brushed an egg wash over each wellington, to give a lovely golden color to the pastry. Bake salmon wellington at 400°F (205°C) for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 325°F (165°C) and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until puff-pastry is flaky and golden brown. If using previously frozen salmon, allow fillets to completely thaw before assembling the salmon puff-pastry. Note: These can also be frozen, and then baked for a little extra time. I also tested reheating one of these, after they were baked, in a conventional oven (do not microwave), and they turned out just fine!

• 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.

SALMON IN A PUFF PASTRY CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• In a small bowl, beat together the butter with the parsley, lemon zest and juice. Season and set aside.
• Roll out half of the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle measuring 15in x 8in (roughly 2 inches longer than the length of the salmon and 2 inches wider). Transfer to a large greased baking sheet.
• Arrange the slices of prosciutto over the pastry base, allowing it to hang over the edge, as this will later be folded over the top of the salmon.
• Place the salmon on top of the prosciutto and spread the herb butter over the top of the fillet. Sprinkle with the red onion slices then fold the overhanging slices of prosciutto over the fish. Brush the edges of the pastry with some of the beaten egg.
• Roll out the remaining pastry slightly larger than the first rectangle of pastry and place over the top of the salmon. Press the pastry down gently to seal, then trim the edges with a sharp knife. Either pinch all the way around the join edges, using your thumb and forefinger to seal, or press down with a fork to make a neat pattern. Use some of the trimmings to make decorations on top of the pastry and discard the rest.
• Brush the pastry all over with the remaining beaten egg and bake for 30 minutes until golden and crisp and the salmon is just cooked. Slice and serve at the table.
