Best Salmon In Pastry With Herb And Cream Sauce Recipes

SALMON IN PASTRY WITH HERB AND CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• If using a whole salmon, have the fish monger clean, skin and fillet it so that you have two whole fillets.
• Check the fillets for large internal bones and remove these with a clean pair of pliers or scissors.
• You can make individual serves using salmon steaks rather than a whole fish if desired.
• If using a larger fish eg 5lb, wrap each fillet in buttered foil and precook for about 15 minutes.
• Do not overcook or it will fall apart in the next step!
• Allow to cool in the fridge.

• Spread mixture over the fish and sandwich the fillets together.
• Wrap the fish in pastry and decorate as required.
• Glaze with egg wash.
• Bake for 30- 45 minutes.
• Cook for the first 20 mins in a moderate- hot oven, then reduce heat to slow for the remainder.

• Bring gently to the boil and cook for 5 mins stirring all the time.

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!
