Salmon en Croute
Ingredients:
1# wild caught salmon
1 reg package of spinach (about 6 cups)
red onion
2 cloves garlic
mushroom rice (see recipe)
1 sheet puff pastry, room temp
lemon pepper
salt
​
Instructions:
-
Make mushroom rice and set aside to cool.
-
Sautee onion until translucent, add garlic and cook another minute or so. Add spinach and toss until wilted down. Set aside to cool.
-
Using just a little bit of flour, roll out puff pastry to just about half of what it was. At the center, make a bed of mushroom rice to match the size of your salmon.
-
Add salmon to bed of rice and season with lemon pepper and salt.
-
Top salmon with layer of spinach mixture.
-
Tightly wrap pastry lengthwise around salmon being careful not to rip pastry. Only overlap a couple of inches (trimming the extra and saving for decoration) and add a little egg wash to the edge to seal.
-
Trim extra off of each end, saving about 2 inches to fold up; seal with egg wash.
-
Carefully turn onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper so that the seam side is down.
-
Using the dull edge of a knife, make a hashtag design over the top and sides. If you want, use the extra pastry to make leaves or other design and add to the top.
-
Cover with egg wash, salt and pepper. Bake at 425 for about 20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
-
Let set at least 10 minutes before cutting.
