Salmon Wellington

A perfect dish for any special occasion or holiday and never fails to impress! For those that do not normally "do" fish this is a great recipe to get them "hooked"

Any salmon will do however our preference is coho, sockeye or chinook. Also, a great substitute is Rainbow or Brook Trout. Pairs nicely with a mushroom risotto or roasted potatoes and asparagus.
