Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 ½ pounds salmon fillets
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
½ cup Dijon mustard
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg white, beaten

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.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound butter
1 to 2 lemons, juiced
2 to 3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 boxes puff pastry
1 (4 to5 pound) salmon fillet
1 medium can asparagus spears, drained or 1 bunch fresh asparagus, cooked al dente
1 medium can artichoke hearts, drained
3 tablespoons capers in brine, drained

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and squeeze in lemon juice and add crushed garlic. Lay 1 sheet of puff pastry in a large casserole dish.
  • Place the salmon fillet (skin side down) on pastry base. Brush the salmon with the melted butter. Place asparagus, artichoke hearts, and capers on top of the salmon. Cover the entire fillet and vegetables with a layer of puff pastry and seal the edges by pinching them closed.
  • Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven, or until pastry is golden brown. Remove from the oven. Cut in portions and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, seasonal ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Use a good quality puff pastry: The puff pastry is what will give your Wellington its flaky, crispy crust. Make sure you use a good quality puff pastry that is made with real butter.
  • Chill the Wellington before baking: This will help the puff pastry to rise and create a more even cook.
  • Serve the Wellington immediately: Salmon Wellington is best served immediately after it is baked. This will ensure that the crust is crispy and the salmon is still moist.
