Salmon Wellingtons are an elegant and flavorful dish featuring salmon fillets wrapped in a flaky puff pastry with a creamy spinach and herb filling, perfect for special occasions or impressive dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Flour, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté spinach in olive oil until wilted. Remove from heat and mix with cream cheese, Dijon mustard, dill, salt, and pepper.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry and cut into 4 equal rectangles.
  4. Place a salmon fillet on each rectangle. Season salmon with salt and pepper.
  5. Top each fillet with a spoonful of the spinach mixture.
  6. Fold the pastry over the salmon, sealing the edges and tucking under to form neat parcels.
  7. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure salmon fillets are dry before wrapping to prevent soggy pastry.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut small slits on top of the pastry for steam to escape.
  • Can substitute spinach filling with sautéed mushrooms for a different variation.
  • Serve with a simple lemon butter sauce or a side salad.
