Ingredients
  

  • 8 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1 egg yolk, for glaze
  • 1 package puff pastry

MUSHROOM ONION FILLING

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 lb mushroom, chopped
  • 2 onions, chopped

LIGHT WHITE WINE SAUCE

  • 6 tablespoons dry white wine
  • 6 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons shallots, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, minced

Instructions
 

  • Make mushroom onion filling: Melt butter or margarine in skillet and saute onion until lightly browned.
  • Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Season to taste.
  • Remove to bowl and chill.
  • *Fillingmay be refrigerated up to 2 days or may be frozen.
  • Roll half the pastry on a floured board into a rectangle approximately 14 inches long and 12 inches wide.
  • Cut into 4 rectangles.
  • Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Place salmon fillets on a greased baking sheet.
  • Tuck the thinner parts of fillet underneath, making them all the same thickness.
  • Divide mushroom onion filling among the fillets and spread evenly on top.
  • Cover each with a rectangle of pastry.
  • Tuck 1/2 inch of pastry under fillets; trim off excess dough.
  • Do not cover the entire bottom with pastry or it will become soggy.
  • Brush top and sides with egg yolk glaze, being careful not to let glaze drip.
  • Re-roll scraps of pastry and cut out small decorations.
  • Place on Wellingtons and glaze the entire pastry again.
  • *Maybe refrigerated up to 8 hours.
  • Make light white wine sauce: Place wine, vinegar and shallots or onion in medium saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until slightly thickened and reduced to approximately 4 tablespoons.
  • Slowly whisk in the cream.
  • Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens to desired consistency.
  • This will take a little time, but as the water evaporates from the cream, it will thicken.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in chives or parsley.
  • Reheat before serving.
  • If sauce becomes too thick, thin down with additional wine or cream.
  • Serve hot.
  • Before serving, bring Wellingtons to room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Bake Wellingtons for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden.
  • At this time, if the fillets are 3/4 inch thick, they will be moist and flaky.
  • Spoon a small amount of sauce on each plate, place Wellingtons on sauce and pass remaining sauce.
  • The Fine Art of Cooking involves personal choice.
  • Many preferences, ingredients, and procedures may not be consistent with what you know to be true.
  • As with any recipe, you may find your personal intervention will be necessary.
  • Bon Appetit!
