Salmon Wellington
Equipment
- Brush
Ingredients
- 2 oz spinach
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 2 sheets filo dough
- 2 salmon fillets 3.5 oz each
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp crème fraîche
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- Brush one sheet of filo dough with melted butter and place one of the salmon fillets towards the edge of the sheet so that it can be properly rolled later.
- Season the salmon with the salt, pepper, and lime juice.
- Spread a bit of crème fraîche over the seasoned salmon fillet, followed by the spinach. Finally, sprinkle the nutmeg on top of the spinach.
- Pull the sides of the dough in to cover the salmon, but before you roll, brush the entire dough area with egg. Now tuck in the edges and tightly roll.
- Gently score the dough 2-3 times before baking for 15 minutes at 375°F.
