Ingredients

Directions

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:

Roux:

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.

    My husband and I have made this recipe several times over the past 4 years. We love it. Today is Valentines day and my husband is making it for us tonight. You can prepare the wellingtons the day ahead> definately squeeze the juice out of the spinach if you do, so the puff pastery does not get soggy. Any guests we have prepared it for have said it was better that any meal they had at a 4 star resturaunt. Yummy!

    I liked this recipe. I have been testing salmon recipes for a charity dinner my cooking group is putting on and liked this one the best. I took the spinach to well done (not just wilted and squeezed out all extra moisture. The dish came out moist. The red pepper sauce is what takes the dish over the top. A food of love effort for sure, but can be made well in advance. I actually made the sauce six days ahead of time and thinned it out with extra cream...wonderful. I also prepared the salmon the day before and baked off at serving time. Works great as a do-ahead dish and very impressive. Would highly recommend for anyone who loves to cook.
