Adirondack Smoked Salmon Casserole
Ingredients
3 6” skinless smoked salmon fillets
1 lb. bag wide egg noodles
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
½ bag frozen yellow corn
½ bag frozen sweet peas
4 soup cans whole milk
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
6 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
black pepper to taste
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Prepare noodles according to package directions, drain and put back in the pot.
Crumble the smoked salmon into pieces & add to pot
Add remaining ingredients
Stir well to mix it up & dump into well-buttered 9x13 casserole dish
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hr. (Remove foil the last 15 min. to brown)
Place dish on table & guests may serve themselves
Serves 6-8
Notes: I don’t add salt to this because the smoked salmon usually has enough salt in it already. I use my smoked salmon that has been done with an apple juice/maple syrup brine and smoked with maple chips then frozen.
Also, the top of the casserole can be dressed up with crumbled potato chips and fresh parsley sprigs just prior to serving if you want to be fancy.
PS: This works well with Smoked Brown Trout also.

Pistachio mustard salmon
Ingredients- Your favorite trout or salmon fillet (skin off)
grey poupon (pardon me)
fresh rosemary (dried is too much like eating straw unless ground)
1-2 eggs
dill , thyme.
Pistacio nuts (shelled)
Rice krispies (or any puffed rice cereal, unsweetened)
seasoned flour
olive oil (evoo) if you watch Rachael ray
This dish does take some time to make but it's well worth it in the end.
For the nut/rice coating put the shelled pistachio nuts and the puffed rice in a food processor, and puree until finely ground.
Put that mix into a shallow bowl.
In a separate bowl add flour and your favorite seasonings.
In a third bowl add the eggs, mustard, and the fresh herbs (chopped fine)
Take the fish fillet and rub in the seasoned four.
second- take the fillet and dip into the mustard/egg/herb mix until evenly coated.
Third - take the egg/ mustard/ herb fish and coat with the nut/rice mix.
Now the fish is coated. put the evoo into a sauté pan and heat on low heat.
When the oil is heated add your coated fish and cook until lightly browned , then turn the fillet and do the same.
The fillet won't be fully cooked so baking in the oven at 350degrees will be needed, or if you are very impatient the browned fish fillet could be nuked.
Like I said this dish takes a lot of time , and preparation to prepare.
Accompanying the fish with something as simple as honey, raspberry vinaigrette, a sweet barbecue sauce, or your favorite sauce, (not tarter) , would be fine.
