SALMON WELLINGTON WITH MANGO,TOMATILLO SALSA TOPPED WITH ORANGE HOLLANDAISE

by Fallier Food August 30, 2016

So here it is finally another blog after… well since July of last year. I guess I have been very naughty not making it a priority. I have not been very committed… so there it is. I think I will be more committed now so please hang in there.

Okay so I’m back and want to share my recipe for Salmon Wellington. Although I’m not a baker and probably never will be because I hate measuring stuff, I do enjoy working with puff pastry as long as someone else makes it. Pepperidge Farm does a fine job.

I perused the food websites for what other people have done with Salmon Wellington and there are a lot of great recipes however I decided to take a different angle using fresh fruit and tangy hollandaise sauce. I was reading earlier that these old school sauces have made a comeback into food fashion. Never knew they left.

I do two different versions of this dish. One using sautéed portobello mushrooms & pate for the fall /winter and the spring/ summer recipe is with a lighter mango tomatillo salsa and cream cheese. I haven’t decided which I like the most.

So please give this recipe a shot and let me know what you think of it.. . and I will try to be a better blog person.
