Salmon Wellington – Cooking Enthusiast

Make diamond-shaped marks. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. The salmon wellington is positioned with the seam downwards. Incisions creating a diamond pattern are sliced on each portion using a knife, then coated with egg wash. Next, bake it at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes until the dough becomes a golden hue.

Suggestions for the recipe include preparing the spinach and cheese mixture ahead of time and defrosting the puff pastry early to save time. Adapt the puff pastry to fit the size of the fillet and apply more egg wash to assist in sealing the edges. Finish by brushing egg wash over the entire wellington for a golden appearance and a crispy outer layer.

To prevent a damp texture, ensure that the spinach is either fresh or well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the salmon wellington. Using an egg wash on the outer puff pastry can establish a barrier against moisture during the baking process.

When serving the salmon wellington, it goes well with whole grains like Wild Rice or Quinoa, salads such as Spinach Salad or Strawberry Feta Spinach Salad, veggies like Roasted Brussels Sprouts or Bacon Wrapped Asparagus, and potatoes like Scalloped Potatoes or Air-Fried Potato Wedges.

The dish can be prepared in advance by preparing the spinach mixture and thawing the puff pastry earlier. Store the Salmon Wellington in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. If fresh salmon is used, the wellingtons can be frozen for up to 3 months, thawed, and baked until crispy and heated through.
