Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Sprinkle salt on both sides of the salmon. Mix the thyme, oregano, basil, dill, mustard, and mayonnaise in a small bowl and spread over the salmon, then sprinkle the feta cheese on top. Layer the spinach over the feta cheese.
- Roll the pastry out wide enough and long enough to wrap around the salmon, about 1/4 inch thickness. Place the salmon in the center of the pastry and fold the pastry over the salmon. Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet. Cut several small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape. Brush the egg white onto the pastry.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 45 minutes.

SALMON WELLINGTON WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Clean and stem the spinach. Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Saute the garlic for a few minutes before adding the spinach, salt and pepper. Cook the spinach only until wilted. Set aside.
- Take 5 by 5-inch sheet of puff pastry. Place spinach in the center of the pastry. Place a salmon fillet, better side down on the spinach. Wrap the pastry by bringing the opposite corners of pastry into the center, until salmon and spinach are covered. Brush lightly with egg wash.
- Turn the Wellingtons over, so that the flat, smooth side is the top. Brush top with egg wash. Place on a baking tray lined with the parchment paper and bake 15 to 18 minutes or until pastry has turned golden brown. Serve with Red Pepper Sauce, recipe follows
- Red Pepper Sauce: To roast peppers, place whole, uncut peppers over an open flame until the skin begins to blister and turn black, turning to get all sides. Take roasted peppers off flame, and put immediately into a brown paper bag to steam them. Let them remain in bag for approximately 10 minutes, then remove from bag. The blackened skin should peel right off the peppers.
- Saute the first 5 ingredients until peppers are soft. Take off the heat and add the heavy cream, then stir gently to warm. Put mixture into blender or food processor and puree. Strain through a china cap and set aside.
- Roux: Combine 1 stick of butter with 1 cup of flour in a saucepan, and cook over heat until mixture combines and turns a golden brown. Add roux to red pepper mixture a teaspoon at a time to thicken, being careful not to add too much.

Steps:
- Melt the butter and squeeze in lemon juice and add crushed garlic. Lay 1 sheet of puff pastry in a large casserole dish.
- Place the salmon fillet (skin side down) on pastry base. Brush the salmon with the melted butter. Place asparagus, artichoke hearts, and capers on top of the salmon. Cover the entire fillet and vegetables with a layer of puff pastry and seal the edges by pinching them closed.
- Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven, or until pastry is golden brown. Remove from the oven. Cut in portions and serve immediately.
Tips:
- When selecting salmon, look for fillets that are firm and have a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are dull or have any signs of bruising.
- To ensure even cooking, bring the salmon to room temperature before cooking. This can be done by placing it on the counter for about 30 minutes before baking.
- To prevent the salmon from drying out, wrap it in prosciutto before baking. The prosciutto will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful.
- Use a light hand when seasoning the salmon. Too much salt or pepper can overpower the delicate flavor of the fish.
- Bake the salmon until it is just cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.
Conclusion:
Salmon Wellington is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for special occasions. The combination of flaky salmon, savory prosciutto, and buttery puff pastry is sure to impress your guests. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you are looking for a special meal to serve, give Salmon Wellington a try.
