Impress your guests with this elegant Salmon Wellington, a deliciously flaky puff pastry filled with tender salmon, creamy spinach, and mushroom duxelles. With its savory layers and beautiful presentation, this dish is perfect for a special dinner that’s surprisingly easy to prepare!

Ingredients

• 1 lb salmon fillet, skinless

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

• 1/2 cup mushrooms, finely diced

   

Directions

• Prepare the Filling: Sauté mushrooms in a pan until soft, then add spinach. Cook until wilted, then mix in cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Let cool.

• Assemble the Wellington: Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Spread the spinach-mushroom filling in the center, then place the salmon fillet on top, seasoning it lightly.

  

• Wrap the Salmon: Fold the puff pastry around the salmon, sealing the edges tightly. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet.

• Brush and Score: Brush the pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish. Lightly score the top for decoration, if desired.

  

• Bake: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes, until pastry is golden and salmon is cooked through.

Note:)

• For an extra touch, add a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the salmon before wrapping for added depth of flavor!
