Provided by Angela Allison

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
2 large onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup white wine
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 tablespoon dill, chopped
2-3 pound salmon fillet, skin removed ((pat dry with paper towels))
2 17.3 ounce total puff pastry sheets, thawed ((such as Pepperidge Farms))
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup whipping or heavy cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dill, chopped
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter and oil. When butter is melted, add the onions and salt. Saute until the onions are soft and translucent and begin to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Increase the heat and add the white wine and dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer and let the liquid cook off. Turn off heat and stir in chopped dill. Let cool completely.
  • While the onions are cooling, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  • On a well floured piece of parchment paper, unfold one pastry sheet and brush one edge with egg wash. Overlap the other sheet by two inches. Use a rolling pin to flatten the pastry until it is large enough to wrap the salmon. Use a slotted spoon to spoon out the onion mixture down the center of the pastry. Place the salmon on top of the onion mixture. Fold the pastry over the salmon and egg wash and press the edges to seal the salmon in the pastry. Place the salmon seam down on the prepared sheet pan. Brush with egg wash. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed. Remove from oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes before cutting.
  • While the salmon is baking, prepare the cream sauce. In a very cold (preferably metal) bowl, whisk the cream until peaks begin to form. Add in the mustard, dill, and salt and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use and serve alongside the salmon.

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½ medium onion, chopped
5 oz fresh spinach
1 teaspoon salt, for spinach
1 teaspoon pepper, for spinach
⅓ cup breadcrumb
4 oz cream cheese
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 sheet puff pastry, softened to room temperature
1 salmon fillet
1 teaspoon salt, for salmon
1 teaspoon pepper, for salmon
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add the garlic and onions, cooking until translucent.
  • Add the spinach, salt, and pepper, cooking until spinach is wilted.
  • Add the breadcrumbs, cream cheese, parmesan, and dill, stirring until mixture is evenly combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • On a cutting board, smooth out the sheet of puff pastry. Place the salmon in the middle of the pastry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Place several spoonfuls of the spinach mixture on top of the salmon, smoothing it out so that it does not spill over the sides.
  • Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the salmon and spinach, starting with the longer sides and then the shorter ends. Trim any excess pastry from the ends, then fold the ends on top. Flip the puff pastry-wrapped salmon over and transfer for a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the beaten egg on the top and sides of the pastry. Score the top of the pastry with a knife, cutting shallow diagonal lines to create a crosshatch pattern.
  • Brush the top again with the egg wash.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until pastry is golden brown.
  • Slice, then serve!
  • Enjoy!

ROASTED SALMON WITH GREEN HERBS



Roasted Salmon with Green Herbs image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 47m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) skinless salmon fillet
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup good olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup minced scallions, white and green parts (4 scallions)
1/2 cup minced fresh dill
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup dry white wine
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
  • Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.

SALMON WELLINGTON



Salmon Wellington image

Salmon Wellington is an easy but impressive recipe you can prep ahead for entertaining. Salmon wrapped in puff pastry with spinach, then baked until golden, this salmon en croute is to die for!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Zest of 1 small lemon (about ¾ teaspoon)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
½ teaspoon black pepper (divided)
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cups fresh baby spinach
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg yolk (plus 1 teaspoon water)
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed in the refrigerator)
2, 6- ounce salmon fillets (skin removed)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Leave the salmon in the refrigerator.
  • Melt the butter in a small bowl or saucepan. Stir in the Dijon, lemon zest, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet. Add the spinach in large handfuls, cooking until it wilts, about 1 minute. Stir in the garlic, thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir in the Parmesan. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water to act as an egg wash. Set aside.
  • Place the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface and roll it into a 12x14-inch rectangle. With a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry in half crosswise so you are left with two rectangles that are 12 x 7 inches each.
  • Remove the salmon fillets from the refrigerator and place on a plate. Brush the tops of the fillets liberally with the butter mixture, then place each fillet, butter-side down, in the center of a piece of puff pastry. Spoon half of the cooled vegetables over the top.
  • Fold one side of the puff pastry over the top of the fillet like a flap, so that it partially covers it, then brush the top of the flap with egg wash. Fold the next side, adhering it to the first if the flaps are large enough to touch (the egg wash should act as a "glue"), then brush its top with egg wash. Repeat until all 4 sides are folded over. It should be as if you are wrapping up the salmon like a delicious present. Don't stress over the order of the flaps. As long as it's well sealed and covers the salmon, you're golden. Carefully flip the salmon over and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet, with the folded side underneath. Repeat with the second fillet.
  • Brush the tops of the puff pastry with egg wash, then with a sharp knife, score shallow, diagonal lines in each direction in a crosshatch pattern.
  • Bake the salmon for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown. Let cool a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve hot.
