Salmon Wrapped In Phyllo With Spinach And Cheese Food

SALMON WRAPPED IN PHYLLO WITH SPINACH AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry on paper towels.
• Put parsley, chives, oregano and thyme on a cutting surface and chop together until very fine and well combined. Sprinkle in a shallow pan and stir in the 1/2 cup of olive oil.
• Coat the salmon fillets on both sides with the marinade and set aside about 30 minutes at room temperature, or for 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
• To make the filling, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saute pan. Add the onion and leek and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the spinach and the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Cook 4 minutes. Stir in dill, salt and pepper. Turn the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate until cool. Stir in the egg, cheeses and bread crumbs.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle lemon juice over the salmon.
• Put two sheets of phyllo, one on top of the other, on a work surface, keeping the unused pastry covered with a damp towel. Cut them in half lengthwise. Cut across into 4 pieces and brush with butter. (These pieces will be used as patches to reinforce phyllo packets).
• Put one sheet of phyllo on a work surface. Brush with butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo. Brush with butter. Put one of the patches on top of the phyllo, about 2 inches from the edge. Put one piece of salmon over the patch. Cover with 1/4 cup of the filling. Fold bottom of phyllo over salmon. Brush the folded portion with butter. Fold in the sides of the phyllo and brush with butter. Roll up the salmon in the phyllo to make a neat packet. Brush the top with butter and seal the end of the roll onto the packet with butter.
• Repeat Step 4 with remaining ingredients to make 8 packets, putting packets on two ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

PHYLLO-WRAPPED SALMON WITH SPINACH & FETA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425ยบF.
• Combine first 3 ingredients. Spray 1 phyllo sheet with cooking spray; top with 2 of the remaining phyllo sheets, spraying each sheet with additional cooking spray before using as directed. Place remaining phyllo sheets between sheets of plastic wrap; set aside until ready to use.
• Place 1 fish fillet along one short side of phyllo stack; top with 1/4 of the spinach mixture. Fold over long sides of phyllo, then roll up, starting at fish-topped side. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, fish and spinach mixture. Place, seam sides down, on parchment-covered Baking Sheet; spray with cooking spray. Cut 3 diagonal slits in top of each wrap.
• Bake 10 to 12 min. or until crusts are golden brown and fish flakes easily with fork. Meanwhile, mix sour cream, cucumbers and dill until blended
• Serve fish with sour cream mixture.

SALMON EN CROUTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together the mascarpone cheese, dill and zest and juice of the lemon to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside one-third of the filling and reserve for the sauce
• Pat a salmon filet with a paper towel to slightly dry. Place the filet at one end of a strip of phyllo, leaving a 3- to 4-inch overhang, and season with salt and pepper. Spread half of the remaining mascapone mixture over the filet then cover with an even, flat layer of the half the spinach leaves. Wrap the phyllo overhang over the filet and roll the salmon up in the dough, brushing the phyllo with butter as you roll. Tuck any excess phyllo under. Prepare the second piece of salmon the same way and place on one of the prepared baking sheets.
• Fold the last piece of phyllo 4 times to a quarter of its original size (an approximate 12-by-9-inch rectangle). Brush with butter and, using a 2-inch heart cutter, cut 6 hearts from the phyllo. Place on the other prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the hearts are golden, 5 to 10 minutes, and the phyllo around the salmon is crisp, flaky and golden, about 20 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together the reserved mascarpone mixture, the cream, Dijon mustard and salt and pepper. Warm (do not boil) over medium heat. Serve the salmon packets with a drizzle of cream sauce and top each with 3 hearts. Serve extra sauce on the side.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the water, oil and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and using a wooden spoon or a Danish whisk, stir the mixture until a shaggy dough comes together.
• Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead until the dough is a bit smoother. Then "slap" the dough and turn it over and knead it until smooth; this could take between 5 to 10 minutes. You can also mix the dough in a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. This takes about 10 minutes. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and allow to rest a room temperature for 2 hours.
• Cover a table (at least 36 inches square) with a clean tablecloth. Sprinkle the cloth all over with flour. Gently press the dough into a rough 12-by-12-inch square and then gently pull the dough into a large square, about 36 inches. Use a pair of clean kitchen scissors to cut the thicker edges off the perimeter and discard them. Allow the dough to rest to dry out just a bit, about 5 minutes.

PUFF PASTRY-WRAPPED SALMON

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.

SALMON WITH CREAM CHEESE, SPINACH & GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Spray a 9x9 baking pan with olive oil. Place salmon fillets in pan. Sprinkle lightly with paprika.
• In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley and a sprinkle of pepper. Spread this over the salmon fillets. (I usually micrwave this for 20 to 30 seconds to make it easier to spread).
• Sprinkle the chopped onion evenly over the cream cheese.
• Layer the baby spinach leaves evenly and neatly over the onions (I make 4 layers of leaves).
• Spray or drizzle the spinach leaves with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake 25-35 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon. It takes a little longer than usual because of all the toppings.

PUFF PASTRY SALMON (SALMON WELLINGTON) RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

WRAPPED SALMON
