Salmon Coulibiac is a flaky, golden puff pastry filled with salmon, herbed rice, mushrooms, and eggs, served with a tangy herby horseradish cream. It’s a luxurious, elegant dish perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 1 salmon fillet (about 1 pound), skin removed
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked rice (or wild rice)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped and sautéed
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
  • 1/2 onion or 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the herby horseradish cream:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream or crème fraîche
  • 1 tbsp prepared horseradish (more to taste)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Sauté mushrooms and onions in butter until soft and golden. Stir in cooked rice, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Let cool.
  3. On a floured surface, roll out one puff pastry sheet. Place half the rice mixture in the center. Top with salmon fillet and egg slices. Cover with remaining rice mixture.
  4. Cover with second puff pastry sheet. Trim and seal edges, crimping with a fork. Cut small slits on top and brush with egg wash.
  5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden and crisp. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
  6. Meanwhile, mix sour cream, horseradish, dill, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Chill until serving.
  7. Serve coulibiac slices with a spoonful of herby horseradish cream on the side.

Notes

  • Use center-cut salmon for even cooking and easy wrapping.
  • Substitute wild rice, farro, or quinoa for different textures.
  • Spinach or leeks can be added to the filling for more greens.
  • Assemble ahead and chill unbaked; bake fresh before serving.
  • Reheat leftovers at 325°F covered in foil to keep the pastry from over-browning.
