Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Salmon: Season the top of the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne for a gentle kick. Spread half of the melted butter over the surface. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Wrap in Smoke: Sprinkle with freshly chopped dill or tarragon, then carefully drape 2 slices of smoked salmon over each fillet, ensuring the surface and sides are well-covered. Place the prepared fish in the refrigerator to chill while the oven preheats. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (Prep time: 10 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Assemble and Bake: If using, spread mashed potatoes into individual baking dishes (ramekins work beautifully), and carefully set the salmon fillets on top. Sprinkle a touch more cayenne over the salmon for added warmth, if desired. Arrange the baking dishes on a baking sheet for easy handling. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step
20 mins

Roast to Perfection: Roast the salmon in the preheated oven until the internal temperature at the thickest part of the fillet reaches 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C), approximately 20 minutes. (Cook time: 20 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Finish and Serve: Once roasted, brush the remaining melted butter over the top of the salmon fillets, adding a final touch of richness. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions for a pop of freshness and color. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the salmon. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider using a high-quality European butter.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as chives or parsley, in place of dill or tarragon.
If you don't have individual ramekins, you can bake the salmon fillets directly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
A side of roasted asparagus or a simple green salad would complement this dish perfectly.
