Salmon Wrapped In Pastry With Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• In a pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add the garlic and onions, cooking until translucent.
• Add the spinach, salt, and pepper, cooking until spinach is wilted.
• Add the breadcrumbs, cream cheese, parmesan, and dill, stirring until mixture is evenly combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
• On a cutting board, smooth out the sheet of puff pastry. Place the salmon in the middle of the pastry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Place several spoonfuls of the spinach mixture on top of the salmon, smoothing it out so that it does not spill over the sides.
• Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the salmon and spinach, starting with the longer sides and then the shorter ends. Trim any excess pastry from the ends, then fold the ends on top. Flip the puff pastry-wrapped salmon over and transfer for a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the beaten egg on the top and sides of the pastry. Score the top of the pastry with a knife, cutting shallow diagonal lines to create a crosshatch pattern.
• Brush the top again with the egg wash.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until pastry is golden brown.
• Slice, then serve!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Boil the eggs for 7 mins, then plunge into cold water. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add the mushrooms and a pinch of seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 mins until golden. Add the rice, dill, lemon zest and juice, capers and some more seasoning, then remove from the heat.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Put two sheets of pastry next to each other on the tray, slightly overlapping in the middle. Brush with some oil and top with another two sheets, then repeat with two more sheets. Butterfly the salmon by cutting through the side, but not all the way through, so you can open it like a book. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Place the salmon on the pastry and stuff with the rice mixture. Peel and slice the boiled eggs and arrange on the rice. Close up the salmon fillet, season and wrap with the pastry to form a parcel. Scrunch the remaining pastry sheet over the top, drizzle with a little more oil and bake for 40 mins. Serve with lemon wedges and dressed salad leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut the filets into log shaped pieces, about 2 inches wide by 5 inches long, keeping the filet portions separate. Take 2 sheets of phyllo dough, placing one on top of the other, and brush lightly with melted butter, covering the one side completely.
• Place a portion of salmon (6 ounces), on the edge, nearest you, of the phyllo dough. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Coat the portion of salmon with 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
• Fold the phyllo dough, nearest you, over the salmon and make one complete wrap. Take the sides of the dough and fold them towards the center, and continue rolling up the dough. Brush all sides with butter, covering completely and place on a cookie sheet. Repeat steps for remaining portions of salmon.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until phyllo dough is golden brown.

Steps:

• Cook rice until tender. Set aside.
• Melt butter in skillet over medium-low heat.
• Add leek; sauté until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes.
• Add mushrooms. Cover skillet; cook until mushrooms release their juices, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Uncover skillet. Increase heat to medium-high; sauté until liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer to bowl. Add rice. Season with salt and pepper. Cool completely.
• Butter large baking sheet.
• Cut one pastry sheet into 4 equal squares. Divide rice mixture among centers of squares.
• Set salmon atop rice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bring pastry corners up around salmon (pastry will not enclose salmon completely.)
• Cut remaining pastry into 4 equal squares. Lay 1 square atop each salmon fillet, tucking corners under bottom pastry to enclose salmon completely.
• Pinch edges together to seal, brushing with egg mixture.
• Arrange salmon packages, seam side down, on prepared baking sheet. Cover and chill 30 minutes. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled.).
• Preheat oven to 400°F Brush top of pastry with egg mixture.
• Bake until golden about 30 minutes.

• Divide rice mixture among centers of squares, mounding in oval shape with ends toward 2 corners of pastry.
• Set salmon on top of rice.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bring pastry corners up around salmon (pastry will not enclose salmon completely).
• Roll out remaining pastry sheet on a floured surface to 13" square size.
• Cut into 4 equal squares.
• Lay 1 square atop each salmon fillet, tucking corners under bottom pastry to enclose salmon completely.
• Pinch edges together to seal (brush with egg mixture if necessary to help it adhere).
• Arrange salmon packages, seam side down, on prepared baking sheet.
• Cover and chill 30 minutes.
• (Can be made up to 8 hours ahead-- Keep chilled).
• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Brush top of pastry with egg mixture.
• Bake until golden and thermometer inserted into fish registers 145°-- about 30 minutes.
• For Dill Sauce: Combine clam juice and wine in heavy small non-aluminum saucepan.
• Boil until reduced to 1/3 cup-- about 9 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium.
• Whisk in Crème Fraîche.
• Boil until reduced to 1 cup-- about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat, stir in dill and season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer salmon packages to plates.
• Spoon Dill Sauce around, and serve.
• Note: If crème fraiche is unavailable, heat 1 1/4 cup whipping cream to lukewarm (85°).

• Cover and let stand in warm draft-free area until slightly thickened (24 to 48 hours, depending on the temperature of the room).
• Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• For the salmon: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat the oil in a heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and wilt for 4 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Let cool.
• Dust a flat working surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the sheets of puff pastry into 1/4-inch thickness (each 12 by 12 inches). Put the pastry sheets side-by-side so they overlap slightly, by about 1/2 inch. Brush the overlapping strip with the beaten egg, stick both sheets together at the strip and seal with a fork. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Spoon the cooled mushroom-spinach mixture over one side of the puff pastry rectangle. To make an even rectangle out of the salmon fillet, you can cut the top portion off of the belly and add it to the tail part. Place the fillet over the mushroom-spinach mixture. Season the salmon heavily with salt and pepper. Fold the other side of the rectangle over the filling and seal by brushing the edge with egg wash and crimping as you would a pie crust (you can use a fork; I crimped like a pie crust with my fingers). Fold the remaining 2 open edges of pastry under the salmon fillet. Brush everything with the egg wash.
• Bake until the puff pastry is crisp and golden in color, 25 minutes. Let stand for about 8 minutes before slicing.
• For the dill sauce: Put the clam juice in a heavy saucepot and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and reduce to 1/2 cup. Add the Mexican crema and heavy cream and reduce to 1 cup. Add the flour and whisk while boiling until thickened. Add the dill and season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the salmon into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch slices. Serve immediately with the dill sauce.
