Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Let the mushroom mixture cool.
- Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12 x 8 inch rectangle, then cut it into quarters. Place some spinach leaves on the narrow side of two layers. Top with the salmon fillet and about 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture. Brush the edges of the dough with a little liaison, top with the remaining two layers of dough, and press the edges shut. Place the packets on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining layers of dough and ingredients.
- Brush the Wellington tops with the egg mixture and poke vents into the tops with the tip of a sharp knife.
- Bake the salmon in the batter until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve the salmon Wellington with a sour cream sauce with dill and capers.
