\nTo make the filling, put the watercress, cream cheese, dill, lemon zest and juice into a bowl. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper, mix well, then set aside.Line a baking tray with parchment. Lay a sheet of the puff pastry on the tray so it’s 2\u00bd cm (1″) larger in diameter than the salmon fillet. Place the first of the salmon fillets on the pastry and spread it with a thick layer of the cream cheese mix, then lay the second fillet on top. Brush the edge of the pastry with a little of the beaten yolk, then drape the second sheet of pastry over the salmon and tuck it in at the sides. Trim the edges and press with a fork to seal.
\nWith the leftover pastry, make a fishtail shape and place at one end of the Wellington. Brush with more beaten yolk, then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
