PUFF PASTRY-WRAPPED SALMON



Puff Pastry-Wrapped Salmon image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the foil
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
9 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices
5 ounces baby spinach leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for rolling out the pastry
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, beaten
One 2-pound side of salmon fillet, skinless
2/3 cup clam juice
3/4 cup Mexican crema
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons minced fresh dill
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the salmon: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and wilt for 4 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Let cool.
  • Dust a flat working surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the sheets of puff pastry into 1/4-inch thickness (each 12 by 12 inches). Put the pastry sheets side-by-side so they overlap slightly, by about 1/2 inch. Brush the overlapping strip with the beaten egg, stick both sheets together at the strip and seal with a fork. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spoon the cooled mushroom-spinach mixture over one side of the puff pastry rectangle. To make an even rectangle out of the salmon fillet, you can cut the top portion off of the belly and add it to the tail part. Place the fillet over the mushroom-spinach mixture. Season the salmon heavily with salt and pepper. Fold the other side of the rectangle over the filling and seal by brushing the edge with egg wash and crimping as you would a pie crust (you can use a fork; I crimped like a pie crust with my fingers). Fold the remaining 2 open edges of pastry under the salmon fillet. Brush everything with the egg wash.
  • Bake until the puff pastry is crisp and golden in color, 25 minutes. Let stand for about 8 minutes before slicing.
  • For the dill sauce: Put the clam juice in a heavy saucepot and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and reduce to 1/2 cup. Add the Mexican crema and heavy cream and reduce to 1 cup. Add the flour and whisk while boiling until thickened. Add the dill and season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice the salmon into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch slices. Serve immediately with the dill sauce.

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.

SALMON COULIBIAC



Salmon coulibiac image

This majestic fish pie makes a brilliant dinner party centrepiece which can be prepared ahead

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 eggs
50g butter
700g skinless, boneless lightly smoked raw salmon fillets (available from Waitrose & Sainsbury's - if you can't find them, use non-smoked raw salmon fillets), cut into finger thick slices
2 x 375g blocks all-butter puff pastry
1 egg, beaten, for glazing
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
4 cardamom pods
2 star anise
200g basmati rice
1 bay leaf
4cm piece cinnamon stick
400ml fish stock or water
zest 1 lemon, juice ½
large bunch dill

Steps:

  • First, get everything prepared. Boil a pan of salted water, add the eggs and cook for 8 mins exactly. Drain and cool under cold water, then peel and set aside.
  • Heat half the butter in a non-stick frying pan and sizzle the slices of salmon for 1 min on each side (Pic 1), just to firm up the fillets but not cook them all the way through. Lift the salmon onto a plate.
  • Now cook the rice. Melt the rest of the butter in the same pan. Add the onion, cumin and coriander seeds, cardamom and star anise, then gently fry for 8 mins until golden. Stir in the rice and add the bay leaf and cinnamon stick (Pic 2), then pour over the stock and season generously. Cover and bring to the boil, then lower the heat to its lowest setting and continue to cook for 10 mins. Turn off the heat and leave covered for 10 mins, then stir through the lemon zest and juice. Set aside to cool. This can be done several hrs in advance. Once cool, stir though the chopped dill.
  • To assemble the pie, roll out one of the pieces of pastry to a rectangle as wide but a third longer than this magazine (23 x 40cm), then lay on a baking tray. Pack half the rice along the middle of the pastry, discarding the star anise and cinnamon as you do so, leaving a good 5cm border around the edge. Lay the salmon over the rice, then slice the eggs and lay those over the whole salmon layer (Pic 3). Top the eggs with the remaining rice and use your hands to gently pack everything down to a firm, even shape. Brush any stray grains of rice off the border, then brush the border with beaten egg,
  • Roll the second piece of pastry out to a rectangle slightly larger than the first. Drape over the coulibiac and gently press the edges to seal the 2 pastry sheets together. Trim the edges to neaten and crimp with your fingers or press down with a fork. The uncooked pie can now be chilled, on the baking sheet, for a day or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • To cook, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Brush the pie all over with beaten egg and, if you want, lightly score the pastry with the back of a knife in a criss-cross fashion, making sure you don't cut all the way through (Pic 4). Bake for 20 mins, then reduce the heat to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and continue to cook for 20 mins until golden brown. Leave to rest for 10 mins, then serve in thick slices with a bowl of Dill cream or Herb salsa (see recipes, below).
