Salmon Mushroom and Sautéed Spinach Roll

17/11/2023

I can provide you with a recipe for a salmon roll with mushrooms and sautéed spinach. Let’s start with the ingredients and then we’ll move on to the preparation.

Ingredients

  • 300 g of sliced smoked salmon
  • 300 g of fresh spinach
  • 200 g of champignon mushrooms (or another type of your choice)
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 200 ml of cooking cream (optional for a creamier variant)
  • 1 rectangular sheet of puff pastry
  • 1 egg yolk (for brushing)

Preparation

  1. Begin by cleaning the spinach, washing, and drying it well. Then wash and slice the mushrooms.
  2. Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a pan and sauté a clove of garlic to flavor the oil, then remove it.
  3. Add the spinach to the pan and cook until wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, cook the mushrooms until they have released all their water and are golden. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Lay out the puff pastry on a work surface and arrange the slices of smoked salmon to cover the entire surface.
  6. Evenly distribute the well-squeezed spinach and mushrooms over the salmon. If you want a creamier variant, you can mix the spinach and mushrooms with the cream and then spread the mixture onto the pastry.
  7. Gently roll up the puff pastry with the filling inside, making sure to seal the edges well.
  8. Brush the surface of the roll with the beaten egg yolk.
  9. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and, once hot, bake the roll on a tray lined with parchment paper for about 25-30 minutes or until the surface is golden and crispy.
  10. Let the roll cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Curiosity

Smoked salmon is a versatile ingredient that lends itself very well to the preparation of refined appetizers and main dishes. The combination with spinach and mushrooms enhances its smoky flavor and gives the dish a lovely complexity of tastes. In Italy, it is common to find variations of this roll with additions of creamy cheeses such as ricotta for an even more delicate and enveloping note.
