Place 1/4 of the spinach-mushroom mixture in the middle of the Phyllo, carefully spread it out a little bit to make a circle about 2 1/2 inches wide. 5. Top the mixture with a piece of salmon fillet and gather up each corner of the Phyllo to make a bundle. 6. Repeat the process with the remaining salmon and spinach-mushroom mixture. 6. Carefully place the Phyllo bundles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the Phyllo is golden and the salmon is cooked. Red Pepper Sauce: 1. Cut and dice the red peppers. 2. Melt butter in a saute; pan over high heat. Add the onion and saute; until golden, about 4 minutes. 3. Add garlic and bell peppers and cook for about 10 minutes until the peppers soften. 4.Add the stock and Italian Parsley and simmer for another 5 minutes until peppers are soft. 5. Puree the pepper mixture in a blender or food processor. (the mixture will be extremely hot.) Keep the sauce warm for serving. Serving Suggestion : Ladle the sauce over the plate to make a "pool", about half a cup. Place 2 Salmon Phyllo Bundles on top and sprinkle with Italian Parsley leaves.
