Best Phyllo Wrapped Salmon W Herbed Goat Cheese Recipes

WRAPPED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut the filets into log shaped pieces, about 2 inches wide by 5 inches long, keeping the filet portions separate. Take 2 sheets of phyllo dough, placing one on top of the other, and brush lightly with melted butter, covering the one side completely.
• Place a portion of salmon (6 ounces), on the edge, nearest you, of the phyllo dough. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Coat the portion of salmon with 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
• Fold the phyllo dough, nearest you, over the salmon and make one complete wrap. Take the sides of the dough and fold them towards the center, and continue rolling up the dough. Brush all sides with butter, covering completely and place on a cookie sheet. Repeat steps for remaining portions of salmon.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until phyllo dough is golden brown.

SMOKED SALMON PHYLLO PACKAGE

Steps:

• Mix together the cream cheese, chives, parsley, tarragon, paprika, salt (to taste), and pepper (to taste) in a bowl. You may need to add a spoonful of milk or water to thin the consistency slightly. It needs to be thick but slightly spreadable.
• Brush the melted butter on each sheet of phyllo dough and layer gently.
• In the center, right half of the phyllo rectangle, gently spread half of the cream cheese mixture, layer half of the brie slices, and sprinkle half of the onions. Add salmon slices and season with a bit of salt and pepper. It is ok if they overlap. Top the salmon with the remaining cream cheese, onions, and brie.
• Fold over the empty half of the phyllo and create a large package, sealing tightly around the edges. Make it as pretty or rustic as you prefer.
• Brush the top of the dough with melted butter.
• Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 7-8 minutes, or until outside is golden brown and flaky. Cool before slicing.
• Slice into squares and serve at a brunch or as an appetizer. It goes well with mustard, bagels, bagel chips, cheese, vegetables, fruit, etc.
• Enjoy!
