Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound salmon fillet skin removed
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spinach Filling

  • Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and spinach carefully. Cook until spinach softens completely. Remove extra moisture and let the mixture cool slightly.

Mix the Creamy Filling

  • Place cooked spinach inside a bowl. Add cream cheese, dill, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Stir everything together until the filling becomes creamy, smooth and flavorful.

Season the Salmon

  • Pat the salmon fillet dry using paper towels carefully. Spread Dijon mustard lightly over the salmon surface. Season both sides with salt and black pepper evenly.

Roll the Puff Pastry

  • Lightly flour your work surface before rolling the puff pastry gently. Roll it slightly larger than the salmon fillet so it wraps fully around the fish.

Add the Filling

  • Spread the creamy spinach mixture in the center of the pastry sheet evenly. Place the seasoned salmon carefully on top of the spinach filling mixture.

Wrap the Wellington

  • Fold the puff pastry around the salmon tightly but gently. Seal all edges carefully to prevent leaks. Place the wrapped salmon seam-side down onto baking parchment.

Brush with Egg Wash

  • Use a pastry brush to coat the top with beaten egg evenly. This step helps create the beautiful golden and shiny pastry crust while baking.

Bake the Salmon Wellington

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the salmon wellington for about thirty minutes until the pastry becomes golden brown and crisp on every side.

Rest Before Slicing

  • Remove the wellington carefully from the oven. Let it rest for five minutes before slicing. Resting helps keep the filling and salmon moist inside.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Slice the salmon wellington using a sharp knife carefully. Serve warm with vegetables, potatoes or salad for a comforting and elegant homemade seafood dinner.

Notes

  • Use cold puff pastry for flaky texture
  • Remove spinach moisture completely
  • Pat salmon dry before seasoning
  • Seal pastry edges tightly
  • Chill assembled wellington before baking
  • Use fresh salmon for best flavor
  • Brush egg wash evenly
  • Avoid overfilling the pastry
  • Bake until deep golden brown
  • Let it rest before slicing
