How to Make Salmon In A Jacket Puff Pastry

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Poach the salmon: In a saucepan, gently simmer the salmon in white wine for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through. Let cool completely and flake into large pieces.
  3. Sauté the mushrooms: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and black pepper; sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  4. Prepare the pastry: Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut into four equal squares.
  5. Assemble the salmon en croute: Place approximately 4 ounces of flaked salmon in the center of each pastry square. Top with sautéed mushrooms and brie pieces.
  6. Seal the pastry: Brush the edges of each pastry square with beaten egg white. Bring the corners of the pastry together, pinching to seal. Twist the edges to create a decorative seal.
  7. Final egg wash: Brush the entire surface of each pastry parcel with the remaining egg wash.
  8. Bake: Place the pastries on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  9. Garnish and serve: Let the salmon en croute cool slightly before serving. Garnish each pastry with a fresh parsley sprig and serve immediately. Enjoy!
