Bruno Albouze Salmon Wellington

Salmon Wellington

Looking to impress your guests with a sophisticated and delicious dish? Look no further than my latest recipe for Salmon Wellington! Also known as “saumon en croûte” or “coulibiac,” this dish features tender salmon wrapped in a flaky crust, creating a beautiful and impressive presentation. Salmon Wellington can be prepared using different types of pastry, such as phyllo dough, brioche, or puff pastry. However, if you opt for puff pastry, I recommend wrapping the salmon in crepes first for an extra layer of flavor and moisture. When preparing the pastry sheet for your Salmon Wellington, make sure it is rolled out to a thickness no more than 0.12 inch/3mm. This will ensure a perfect balance between the crispy crust and the succulent salmon filling. For baking, I suggest placing the assembled Salmon Wellington on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a perforated baking mat. This will help ensure even cooking and prevent the pastry from sticking to the tray. A pizza stone is preferred. Are you ready to elevate your culinary skills and delight your taste buds with this exquisite Salmon Wellington recipe? Stay tuned for my upcoming video where I’ll guide you through the step-by-step process.
