Instructions
- All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche, cream, dill, and capers. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Wellington
- Remove the salmon fillets from the refrigerator and slice each in half crosswise. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To the bowl of a food processor, add the garlic, shallots, and mushrooms.
- Pulse to mince everything.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mushroom mixture and cook until softened, approximately 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the wine has evaporated, about 2 more minutes.
- Turn the heat off and stir in the crème fraiche and mustard. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
- Lightly season the salmon fillets on both sides with pinches of salt and pepper.
- Dust a flat work surface with a little flour. Place one unfolded sheet of puff pastry on the surface and lightly dust the top with a little more flour. Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry out to about an 8-inch x 12-inch rectangle. Cut the pastry sheet into 4 quarters. Do the same with another sheet of pastry.
- Place equal amounts of spinach leaves in the center of 4 of the rectangles of pastry. Top each layer of spinach with a salmon fillet. Spoon 2 tablespoons of mushroom paste over each fillet.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
- Brush the edges of each topped pastry sheet with some egg wash. Place another rectangle of pastry over the salmon fillets and seal the edges together with the tines of a fork. You want a good tight seal.
- Transfer the filled puff pastry packets to the parchment-lined baking sheet with a spatula or bench scraper. Brush the tops of each packet with the remaining egg wash. Make 3 small slits in the top of each packet with a sharp paring knife.
- Place the baking sheet inside the oven and bake for 15 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the Wellingtons to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, transfer the dill sauce to a small serving bowl with a spoon.
- Arrange the salmon Wellington packets on individual serving plates with your favorite side dishes and sauce on the side. Serve while still warm.
