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.

Make White Wine Sauce:

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.

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.
