Ingredients

  • 8 salmon fillets
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cups chopped mushrooms
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 6 shallots, minced
  • 6 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • White pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 egg yolk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mushroom Onion Filling:

    • In a skillet, melt butter and sauté the onion until lightly browned.
    • Add mushrooms and cook until most of the liquid evaporates.
    • Season with salt and white pepper.
    • Transfer to a bowl and chill.
    • Filling may be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen.
  2. Prepare Pastry and Salmon:

    • Roll out half of the puff pastry on a floured surface into a 14×12-inch rectangle.
    • Cut into 4 smaller rectangles.
    • Repeat with the remaining pastry.
    • Place salmon fillets on a greased baking sheet, tucking the thinner parts underneath to even out thickness.
    • Divide the mushroom onion filling among the fillets and spread evenly.
    • Cover each fillet with a rectangle of pastry, tucking edges underneath.
    • Brush with egg yolk glaze.
    • May be refrigerated for up to 8 hours.
  3. Make White Wine Sauce:

    • In a saucepan, combine white wine, vinegar, and shallots.
    • Bring to a boil, then simmer until reduced to 4 tablespoons.
    • Slowly whisk in heavy cream and simmer until thickened.
    • Season with salt and pepper, then stir in chopped parsley.
    • Reheat before serving, thinning with additional wine or cream if necessary.
  4. Bake Salmon Wellington:

    • Bring Wellingtons to room temperature for 1 hour before baking.
    • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until pastry is golden and salmon is cooked through.
    • If fillets are 3/4 inch thick, they should be moist and flaky.
  5. Serve:

    • Spoon a small amount of white wine sauce onto each plate.
    • Place Salmon Wellingtons on top of the sauce.
    • Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
    • Enjoy the exquisite flavors of this Saucy Salmon Wellington!

Chef’s Tips

  • For an extra burst of flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the white wine sauce.
  • Ensure the pastry is well-sealed around the salmon fillets to prevent leakage during baking.
  • Experiment with different herbs and seasonings in the mushroom onion filling to suit your taste preferences.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.

Bon Appétit! 🍽️
