BAKED SALMON IN PUFF PASTRY WITH CREMINI MUSHROOM DUXELLE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Duxelles: Rinse and thoroughly pat dry cremini mushrooms before using a food processor or sharp knife to finely mince. Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until soft. Stir in cremini mushrooms and simmer for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the mushrooms to cook down while their moisture evaporates. Add white wine, thyme and salt. Simmer for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in whipping cream. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate. Makes 1 cup. Note: I froze the remaining Duxelles, for a month. It thawed perfectly, and was delicious spread over puff pastry and rolled, sliced into pinwheels. Bake at 400°F for about 10 to 12 minutes. Elegant yet easy to prepare, salmon wellington makes a lovely entrée for a dinner party or evening in as the puff pastry parcels can be prepared and refrigerated for up to two hours before being baked. Wellington: Cut puff pastry into four equal 5-inch x 8-inch (13-centimeters x 20-centimeters) sheets. Approximate measurements are suitable. Spread 1/4 cup mushroom duxelle evenly onto each sheet of puff pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch (1 centimeter) margin at the edges. Place a salmon fillet in the center of each prepared pastry, seasoning each with a sprinkle of salt. Fold up edges in a lengthwise and press puff pastry together to seal a seam across the center of the salmon fillet. Flip pastry over so that seam is hidden and gently press the sides together to close. Note: I brushed an egg wash over each wellington, to give a lovely golden color to the pastry. Bake salmon wellington at 400°F (205°C) for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 325°F (165°C) and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until puff-pastry is flaky and golden brown. If using previously frozen salmon, allow fillets to completely thaw before assembling the salmon puff-pastry. Note: These can also be frozen, and then baked for a little extra time. I also tested reheating one of these, after they were baked, in a conventional oven (do not microwave), and they turned out just fine!

DUXELLES

Steps:

• Put the mushrooms and shallots in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Pulse until finely chopped. The mushrooms and shallots should be in about 1/8-inch pieces-don't overprocess.
• Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the mushroom mixture, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring. When the mushrooms begin to release their moisture, turn the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the duxelles look dry, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool.

MUSHROOM DUXELLES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Finely chop the mushrooms in a food processor.
• Scrape the mushrooms onto a clean cotton kitchen towel. (Choose an old towel as the mushrooms will stain it. Do not use terry cloth.)
• Over a sink, twist the towel around the mushrooms to wring out as much liquid as possible.
• Heat a large (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and swirl to melt and avoid burning.
• Add the mushrooms, shallot, thyme, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
• Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and continue to cook until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms appear dry and begin to brown, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and, when melted, add the vermouth.
• Cook until the vermouth has evaporated, stirring frequently. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

MUSHROOM WELLINGTON RECIPE

Steps:

• Instructions Put the portobello mushrooms in a roasting tray stalk side down and put under a very hot grill for 10 minutes. Drain off the liquid and reserve then place the mushrooms back under the grill for another 5-8 minutes. Remove to cool. Boil the kale in some salted water for 5-6 minutes and drain and set aside to cool. For the Duxelles: Put some olive oil in a pan and on a high heat fry the onion until soft. Add the nectar and soy sauce to caramelize the onion. Add the chopped exotic mushrooms and herbs then pour in the wine and reduce the liquid by half. Add the chestnuts and a dash of truffle oil to the duxelles and turn the heat down and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and spoon out half of the duxelles and with a blender blitz until smooth. Mix the puree and the chopped mushrooms back together and set aside ready to prepare the Wellington. To assemble the Wellington: Roll out the pastry (10 minutes before using) still on the parchment and place the portobello mushrooms going from side to side in the middle slightly overlapping at the edges leaving space at both sides. Spoon the duxelles just over the portobello mushrooms and lightly press to keep in place. Place the kale over the top then fold the bottom side of the pastry over to cover. Mix the oil and oat milk (or butter or egg wash) in a separate bowl and brush a little on the edge of the covering pastry. Pull the top side over and stick to the bottom to create a parcel. Neatly fold in the sides and crimp. Lightly score a crisscross on the top of the Wellington with a sharp knife. Brush the whole parcel with the rest of the oil and oat milk and transfer the Wellington still on the parchment to a baking tray and when ready to cook place in a 200°C/392°F oven for 25 minutes until the pastry is nice and golden.
