How to Make Baked Salmon In Potato Shells

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub 4 medium russet potatoes thoroughly. Pierce potatoes several times with a fork.
  3. Bake potatoes for 60-70 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  4. While potatoes bake, prepare the salmon: Flake 1 pound cooked salmon, removing all bones and skin. (You can use leftover cooked salmon or bake a salmon fillet separately.)
  5. Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, carefully slice off the tops and scoop out the insides, leaving about a 1/2-inch border. Set the potato shells aside.
  6. In a large bowl, mash the potato flesh with 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Gently fold in the flaked salmon.
  8. Fill each potato shell generously with the salmon and potato mixture.
  9. Sprinkle 1/4 cup bread crumbs evenly over the stuffed potatoes.
  10. Dot each potato with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
