Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter.
  2. Sauté the onions until translucent, then add the mushrooms and garlic.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then stir in spinach until wilted.

  2. Set aside while you prepare the puff pastry.

Step 3: Roll Out the Puff Pastry

Step 4: Assemble the Wellington

  1. Spread the spinach-mushroom filling evenly over the center of each pastry piece.

  2. Place the wrapped salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
