Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 tablespoons butter
3 leeks, washed and sliced
1 red onion, finely sliced
2 tablespoons dried tarragon
1/2 cup white wine
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 puff pastry sheets, thawed
Flour, for dusting surface
1 egg plus 2 teaspoons water, for egg wash
1 (3-pound) salmon fillet, skin removed
Dijon Whipped Cream, recipe follows
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, red onion and tarragon and saute until the onion mix is soft, about 10 minutes. Add the wine, raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Let the liquid cook off, add the salt and pepper, and remove from the heat and set aside. Let cool before using.
  • Unfold 1 pastry sheet and lay it on a lightly floured surface. Brush 1 edge with the egg wash and overlap the other sheet by 2 inches. Roll the pastry out until it's big enough to fold around the salmon. Spoon the cooled leek mixture down the center of the pastry, place the salmon on top of the leeks and fold the pastry over the salmon. Egg wash the edges to seal and press well. Place the salmon parcel seam side down on a sheet pan. Brush with egg wash and place in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes before slicing. Slice and serve with Dijon Whipped Cream.
  • Pour the cream into a chilled stainless steel bowl and whisk until soft peaks begin to form. Add the mustard, salt and pepper and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.

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.

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½ medium onion, chopped
5 oz fresh spinach
1 teaspoon salt, for spinach
1 teaspoon pepper, for spinach
⅓ cup breadcrumb
4 oz cream cheese
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 sheet puff pastry, softened to room temperature
1 salmon fillet
1 teaspoon salt, for salmon
1 teaspoon pepper, for salmon
1 egg, beaten

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!

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal produce and sustainably sourced seafood.

  • Brush the puff pastry with egg wash before baking: This will help the pastry brown and give it a shiny finish.
  • Serve the salmon Wellington immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
