Salmon Wellington with Spinach and Muenster Cheese Stuffing

Yield: 10 servings

Prep time: 25 minutes

Level: Advanced

Ingredients:

1 package Tnuva Maadanot Frozen Rolled Puff Pastry Dough, thawed
2-pound frozen salmon fillet
3 tablespoons Tnuva butter
6 cloves garlic, chopped finely
1 32-ounce bag frozen spinach, thawed and drained
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
½ cup bread crumbs
1 container Tnuva Cheese Spread, Original Flavor
5 slices Tnuva Muenster Cheese, cut into small pieces
4 tablespoons chives, chopped
1 egg, beaten

Instructions:

1. For the stuffing, melt butter in a large frying pan. Add the garlic and sautee for about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and sautee for another 4-5 minutes until soft. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. Add bread crumbs, cheeses and chives. Mix well and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 400 ⁰F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
3. Unroll the thawed dough on a piece of parchment paper. Place the salmon on the dough, with the gray (flat) side up. Leave 4-inch edges all around, and cut away the rest of the dough. Season the fish with salt and pepper and cover with the stuffing so that it is even all around. Lift up the edges of the dough and seal all around like an envelope, so that the fish is completely covered. (Cover up any holes with the extra dough.)
4. Place the salmon, seam side down, on the baking pan and brush the top with beaten egg. With a sharp knife, lightly mark a weave design all around the dough, as shown.
5. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the dough is golden. Serve immediately.
