Cut in half, remove hair and leaves to obtain artichoke hearts. Rough chop hearts and set aside. Cut size should be about ? inch. In a food processor or blender, while blade is running add garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil and flat leaf parley. Blend until mixture is emulsified well. Add roasted pine nuts and blend until still kind of chunky. Add shredded Asiago cheese and chopped artichoke hearts to mixture. Season with salt and pepper and mix altogether. Pesto should have allot of texture. Let marinate for at least 2 hours.Preheat oven to 400?. Prepare puff pastry to package directions. Let pastry un-thaw for 40 minutes. Puff needs to stay cold but needs to be thawed slightly so pastry becomes pliable. Cut sheet into four strips. Salmon Wellingtons:Spoon pesto onto salmon portions, place salmon onto puff pastry strips, pesto side down, then wrap pastry around salmon and pesto. Pinch seam of pastry together and ?glue? seams together with the egg wash mixture. Place seam side down on sheet pan, place and press lemon slice on top of Wellington, then brush pastry with remaining egg wash. Place salmon Wellingtons in pre-heated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, until fish is cooked and pastry is browned. Place an additional dollop of pesto on top of lemon slice to serve. Serves 4.
