PrintAbout this recipeThe original recipe is the famous Beef Wellington, but something was bothering me when eating it. And I think it's the annoying contrast between the soft crispy dough and the meat that I find always too hard to chew on, making it not as enjoyable as this one that I am showing you |
 |
I find the Salmon Wellington version far superior, as the crispy and soft dough goes really well with the moist and tender Salmon. |

Yes - You would need to remove the shells, and sear the lobster flesh on each sides (pre-cook) in a skillet, but not cook entirely, and then finish cooking them in the oven.
You want to sear them so we are sure they are entirely cooked, but only sear them (and not fully cook) so they can stay moist, and not overcooked.
The result will be different, but definitely leaner in terms of calories.
I'm just concerned that unlike Puff Dough, the Phyllo dough doesn't rise when baking, and so I don't know what result you would get... but it's worth the try
