Preparation
To begin, you'll need to gather all the necessary ingredients for your salmon wellington. Make sure to use fresh salmon fillets, as they will give the best flavor and texture to the dish. You'll also need to thaw out a sheet of puff pastry and have some egg wash on hand to help seal the pastry. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Flavorful Filling
The filling for this salmon wellington is what takes it to the next level. It's a combination of spinach, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and garlic that is packed with flavor and complements the salmon perfectly. Begin by sautéing the spinach and garlic in a pan until the spinach is wilted. Then, mix in the cream cheese and parmesan cheese until well combined.
Assembling the Wellington
Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Place the salmon fillets in the center of the pastry and spread the spinach and cheese mixture on top. Carefully fold the pastry over the salmon, making sure to seal the edges tightly with the egg wash. You can also use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch. Brush the top of the pastry with more egg wash and make a few slits on the top to allow steam to escape while baking.
Baking and Serving
Carefully transfer the salmon wellington to the lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving with your favorite holiday sides. This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
In just a few simple steps, you can have a beautiful and delicious salmon wellington to impress your guests this Christmas. The combination of salmon, spinach, and puff pastry creates a flavorful and festive dish that will be the highlight of your holiday feast. So don't wait any longer, add this recipe to your Christmas menu and enjoy a stress-free and tasty holiday meal.
