Best Salmon Wellingtons Recipes

SALMON WELLINGTONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the garlic, shallots and mushrooms in a food processor and pulse to chop finely.
• Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the white wine; reduce over high heat until the mixture is dry. Off the heat, stir in creme fraiche, Dijon and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1 sheet of the puff pastry into a 12-by-8-inch rectangle, and then cut into quarters. Place a small stack of spinach leaves on the short side of two of the quarters. Top with a salmon fillet and about 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture. Brush the pastry edges lightly with egg wash, top with the remaining quarters and crimp the edges. Place the packages on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining puff pastry sheets and ingredients.
• Brush the tops of the Wellingtons with egg wash, and cut vents with the tip of a sharp knife.
• Bake until puffed and golden, about 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with Dill-and-Caper Creme Fraiche Sauce.
• In a small bowl, whisk to combine the creme fraiche, cream, dill, capers and some salt and pepper.

INDIVIDUAL PHYLLO-WRAPPED SALMON WELLINGTONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine rice, 1/2 cup of the cucumber ranch dressing and dill; set aside. Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on large cutting board; brush lightly with vinaigrette dressing. Top with 2 more sheets of phyllo, brushing each sheet evenly with vinaigrette dressing. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and vinaigrette dressing. Cut each phyllo stack crosswise in half to form a total of 6 stacks.
• Spoon 1/3 cup of the rice mixture onto center of each pastry stack. Top evenly with spinach and salmon. Brush tops lightly with some of the remaining cucumber ranch dressing. Bring phyllo up around salmon; twist tightly at top to secure. Snip off any excess phyllo from top. Place on baking sheet; brush lightly with remaining vinaigrette dressing.
• Bake 15 to 20 min. or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
