Prep Time: | 20 min. |
Cook Time: | 20 min. |
Ingredients:
- 2 large leeks, white part only, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp salt, divided
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, divided
- 1 (17.3 oz) package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
- 4 (5- to 6-oz) skinless salmon fillets (skin ok)
Directions:
- Saute leeks in butter in a medium skillet over medium heat about
5 mins or until softened. Stir in garlic, and cook 1 min.
Add wine; cook 5 mins or until liquid evaporates. Remove from
heat, and stir in lemon zest, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper.
- Roll out each pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a
12-in square. Cut each in half, forming 4 (12- x 6-in) rectangles.
Spoon 1/4 cup leek mixture lengthwise down the center of each
rectangle. Sprinkle fillets evenly with remaining 1/4 tsp
salt and remaining 1/8 tsp pepper; place fillets lengthwise
on top of leek mixture. Fold short sides of pastry over
fillets. Pinch together long sides of each pastry to seal.
Place wellingtons, seam-side down, on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake at 425 F for 18 to 20 mins or until pastry is golden brown.
Let stand 5 mins. Cut each pastry diagonally in half using a
serrated knife.
Serves: 4
Notes:
- Place fillets on parchment paper—helps keep the bottom from
getting soggy.
