Another <\/span><\/strong>www.daringkitchen.com<\/span><\/strong><\/a> challenges and I’m pleased with the results.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2009 Daring Cooks challenge was hosted by Simone of Junglefrog Cooking<\/a>. Simone chose Salmon en Croute (or alternative recipes for Beef Wellington or Vegetable en Croute) from Good Food Online<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m really getting into these challenges. This one is the “cook’s” challenge and they are posted on the 27th of each month and the “baking” challenge is revealed on the 14th of each month.  <\/span><\/p>\n

I have made en croute once in my life and that was individual beef wellingtons I made for a Valentines dinner for two I catered about 18 years ago. I don’t know why I haven’t tried salmon en croute before. The crust is very simple and is has a wonderful flaky texture.<\/span><\/p>\n

I really thought that the filling for this recipe would be too rich. We had the option of cream cheese or mascarpone. I had the cream cheese so decided to use it. Next time I will probably try the mascarpone. I also used a mixture of arugula and spinach. Next time a little more on the spinach. I did add some dill to the mixture and I made a lemon butter paprika sauce to go with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I got to pick one of my Meyer lemons from my tree. I wait all year for fall to get here so I can start using them. I only had 18 this year but better than the 8 I got last year. My husband is going to plan it in the ground after this crop has been picked so we may get a bigger tree with more fruit next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you will try this recipe. You could use puffed pastry but you should really try this shortcrust recipe first. I really thought this fish would be an individual serving but as I cut my template, I had to keep making it bigger and bigger to accommodate the fish I was going to put inside.  Kind of like my dad’s fish stories. I think hearing about some of his catches, the fish kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger each time he told the story.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everything ready to go. The green mixture is cream cheese and arugula\/spinach mix with some dill thrown in. I think some finely chopped red onion would be great added to this recipe.<\/p>\n

I did have to roll my top crust a little bigger to be able to cover all this up.<\/p>\n

The tail piece of salmon is almost my favorite so I claimed this part for myself.<\/p>\n

The lemon butter paprika sauce was fantastic. I added a little fresh thyme to it. Just wonderful.<\/p>\n
