Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g salmon fillets (4 pieces, 125g each)
- 100 g baby spinach leaves
- 100 g cream cheese
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp horseradish
- Small bunch of fresh dill, finely diced
- 2 small spring onions, diced
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 tsp garlic or herb butter

- 1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 150 g cream cheese
- 2–3 tbsp horseradish
- Lemon juice, to taste

Instructions
- Remove the skin from the salmon fillets and pat them dry. Chill until needed. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F, Gas 6) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Rinse the baby spinach and place it in a heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water over it for 30 seconds. Drain and immerse in cold water. Squeeze out excess moisture and finely dice the spinach.
- In a bowl, combine the diced spinach, cream cheese, egg yolk, dill, spring onions, and nutmeg. Season with salt and black pepper, and mix well.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut into four rectangles. Spread garlic or herb butter on each rectangle. Place a salmon fillet on each, spoon the cheese filling on top, and fold the pastry around the fillets. Seal the ends tightly.
- Arrange the parcels on the baking tray. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the horseradish sauce by mixing cream cheese, horseradish, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the Salmon Wellington hot with horseradish cream sauce and a fresh green salad.
