Nicole's salmon Wellington is much more elegant than it is difficult - it's really much easier than you think to make it. Encase a salmon filet capped with cream cheese, feta, and spinach in puff pastry, and bake until golden. It makes a beautiful presentation and the salmon will be moist and succulent.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 ounces spinach
- 0.25 cups onion
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons pepper
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.33 cups feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 box puff pastry , 17.3 ounce
- 1 salmon fillet , 1 1/2 pound
- 1 large egg
Instructions

1
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add in spinach, garlic powder, half of the salt and pepper and cook, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Stir in cream cheese until melted; remove from heat. Stir in feta cheese, dill, lemon juice and zest. Set aside.

Roll 1 piece of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface to a size just slightly larger than the salmon fillet. Spread half of the spinach mixture in the shape of the salmon fillet over the pastry. Place salmon on top of spinach mixture and sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Add remaining spinach mixture on top of salmon and place second pastry sheet on top. Trim excess pastry from edges; fold edges of pastry all around salmon to create a seal.

Transfer salmon to the prepared baking sheet; brush evenly with egg.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and fish is cooked through, about 30 minutes. An instant read thermometer inserted into the center of salmon should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C.) Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Traditional Kentucky Burgoo
This is my version of a traditional Kentucky stew recipe my brother brought back after going to school in Louisville. A favorite on Derby Day or any day!
Cream Cheese Penguins
Just imagine a cute display of penguins, made with black olives, carrots and cream cheese! You can add scarves and hats by using fresh red pepper strips, or canned pimentos cut into different shapes. Use frilly toothpicks if you can.
Vegan (Say What?!) Gumbo
Gumbo (a West African word that means 'okra') is traditionally served over long-grain white rice, but feel free to health it up by using brown rice. I was challenged to come up with a vegan gumbo recipe that removed the meat, but kept similar consistency, texture, and that savory, spicy flavor. Laissez les bons temp rouler!
