This recipe combines the rich flavors of butter, garlic, onions, spinach, and creamy cheeses to perfectly complement the salmon.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onions. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
- Transfer the spinach mixture to a large bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Once the spinach mixture is cooled, add the bread crumbs, cream cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and chopped dill. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a rectangle large enough to fully enclose the salmon fillet with some overlap.
- Place the salmon fillet in the center of the rolled-out puff pastry. Season the salmon with the remaining 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
- Spread the prepared filling evenly over the top of the salmon fillet.
- Fold the puff pastry over the salmon and filling, overlapping the edges to seal. Trim any excess pastry if necessary.
- Brush the beaten egg over the pastry to ensure a golden brown finish.
- Place the salmon wellington on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the wellington from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Salmon Wellington!
Tips:
- Ensure the salmon fillet is fully thawed and patted dry to prevent excess moisture from making the puff pastry soggy.
- Lightly flour your surface before rolling out the puff pastry to avoid sticking.
- Brushing the puff pastry with beaten egg helps achieve a beautiful golden brown color.
- Chill the assembled Wellington in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before baking to help maintain its shape.
- Use a sharp knife to make shallow slits on the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape and prevent sogginess.
Once baked to perfection, the Salmon Wellington offers a delightful combination of tender salmon, rich and savory stuffing, and a crispy, buttery crust. It's a meal that's sure to impress and satisfy, making it well worth the effort. Serve with a side of fresh green salad or roasted vegetables to complete this elegant dish.
