Spinach Dill Stuffed Salmon Wellington Recipes

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.

SPINACH & DILL STUFFED SALMON WELLINGTON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220ºC (425ºF). Squeeze moisture from spinach, discarding liquid. Finely chop the spinach. In large bowl, beat 1 egg with the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in spinach, Parmesan, garlic, dill, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Cut across the fillet to divide it into 2 portions of equal length. Pat dry with paper towel. Place 1 sheet puff of pastry on parchment-lined baking sheet. Separate remaining egg (reserve egg white for another use); beat yolk with 1 tbsp (15 mL) water; Brush 1-in (2.5-cm) border around edges of pastry. Place 1 piece of salmon in centre of pastry. Spread half the spinach mixture on the salmon. Top with second piece of salmon. Spread remaining spinach mixture on top of fish. Cover with second sheet of puff pastry. Pressing out any air pockets, seal top and bottom pastry sheets around edges. Trim excess pastry around bottom sheet. Roll and crimp sealed edges. Brush pastry with remaining egg wash.
• Use the tip of a paring knife to score diagonal lines across surface of pastry (when the pastry puffs up during baking, score lines will reveal as lighter colour than eggwashed pastry.) Cut 3 vent holes on top.
• Bake 35 to 40 min., until pastry is golden brown. The temperature of the salmon should register 70˚C (158˚F) on an instant-read thermometer. Let stand 10 min. before slicing and serving with lemon wedges.

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!
