The texture was moist and rich, the flavor was reminiscent of a smoky grilled salmon.

So, to help prepare for these hard times, I decided to experiment with tricking up some farmed salmon, and I loved how this came out. The little extra richness, and subtle smokiness the cured salmon imparted was a welcomed distraction to this sometimes less than thrilling farmed fish. Besides some extra seasoning, it also helped keep the filet nice and moist, but that doesn’t mean you’re allowed to cook it too long. I think this is a great technique, but it’s not a magic technique, so I suggest you pull your salmon at 135-140 F. internal temp. I loved the “reverse fish pie” delivery system, but you could really get creative when it comes to what goes under this. And no, I still haven’t done an Internet search for the term yet, and probably won’t. You can’t unread a thing like that. But, no matter how you serve this Smoked Salmon Roast Salmon, I really do hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy! Chef John Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1x 2x 4x Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings 2 boneless center-cut salmon fillets (7-8 ounces each), skin removed salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste cayenne to taste 3 tablespoons melted butter, divided, or as needed 2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill or tarragon 4 slices smoked salmon (about 2 ounces total) 1 1/2 cups cooked mashed potatoes (optional) 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions (optional) 1/2 lemon, cut into wedges Directions Season the top of the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a little cayenne. Spread 1/2 of the melted butter all over the surface. Sprinkle with chopped dill, and drape 2 slices of smoked salmon over each fillet, covering the surface and sides. Place prepped fish in the fridge until needed. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread mashed potatoes into 2 baking dishes (I used oval ramekins), and set salmon fillets on top. Sprinkle a little cayenne over the top if desired. Set baking dishes on a baking sheet for easy transfer. Roast salmon in the preheated oven until internal temperature in the center of the thickest part of the fillet reads 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C), about 20 minute. Once roasted, brush the remaining melted butter over the top of the salmon fillets and garnish with green onions. Serve with lime wedges. Chef John Cook's Notes: Salmon can be roasted together in a larger baking dish, but cooking time may vary. If salmon is roasted without a mashed potato base, it may cook faster.
