We originally went with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/recipes\/food\/views\/Salmon-Wellington-102192\" target=\"_blank\">this recipe at epicurious.com<\/a>, but have found it easy enough to make it now grandma-style (pinch of this, pinch of that).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/i108.photobucket.com\/albums\/n18\/womantalk\/IMG_1842.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><strong>Salmon Wellington<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 bunch of tarragon, chopped<\/p>\n<p>1-2 scallions, minced<\/p>\n<p>1-2 pounds wild salmon<\/p>\n<p>olive oil, salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n<p>1 package of puff pastry<\/p>\n<p>N.B. The Pepperidge Farm puff pastry comes in two large sheets. We&#8217;ve been cutting each sheet in half, and making four servings &#8211; but, we&#8217;ve found that the servings are too large to finish, and also that the puff pastry box actually says that it contains <em>12 servings<\/em> (meaning that we&#8217;ve each one been eating <em>3 servings<\/em> at a sitting!)<\/p>\n<p>In the future, I think we&#8217;ll cut each sheet into three sections, which works with the way Trader Joe&#8217;s seems to package their fish (three large pieces), for six servings.<\/p>\n<p>1. Lightly salt and pepper each piece of fish.<\/p>\n<p>2. Place a piece of fish in the center of a piece of puff pastry. Cover with chopped tarragon and minced shallots. (Other herbs and regular onions will do in a pinch.)<\/p>\n<p>3. Wrap the fish up in the pastry, pinching the edges shut. Place seamside down on a baking sheet.<\/p>\n<p>4. Bake in a 350 oven for about 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden.<\/p>\n<p>5. Serve with rice pilaf and veggie of choice and salad. (We&#8217;ve skipped the egg wash and the wine sauce &#8211; and have been perfectly content.)<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bella&#8217;s made this dish four times since the end of December.
