The crunch of the pistachios, the zing of the dijon, and the richness of the fresh salmon were in perfect balance. I used salted pistachios and thus needed no salt to season the fish, just pepper; it came out great. We had a great Willamette Pinot Noir which paired perfectly. Thanks for the recipe - and the inspirational write-up on food styling. I made this tonight and it was hugely successful.

Once you do this you'll see how easy it is, roasting salmon in the oven. Any oven will do. You don't need convection. For a regular oven, roast at 400 degrees. Be sure when you prep the filets (after you skin them) trim out any dark bloodline, which can be strong tasting. When the salmon is done the crust will be golden brown and the filets just barley opaque inside. It will depend too on personal preference - if you like your salmon more done or more rare. If you have a digital thermometer. the center should be about 145 degrees. Please comment back and let me know how it goes! One more tip, make sure the salmon is close to room temp before roasting. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator (never on the counter), then allow to sit on the counter for a good 45 minutes to get the chill off. Your fish will roast better and you'll get better results.

However, I don't have a convection oven and have never cooked with one, just an old-fashioned electric stove. I'm accustomed to cooking salmon on the grill, or in a skillet, and thus am even further removed from any experience with "salmon + oven"... I've got filets (shipped to me frozen from Togiak, AK) that are about 1-1/2" thick, or will be after I've trimmed them. Do you have any tips for time or temp in a regular oven? Thanks!

Looks like a very useful two days and really worth the experience. I really believe you have to learn some of these things in person and a workshop with Matt & Adam is perfect. I have not worked with Food Fanatics so I can't say, but surely if Matt and Adam work with them, they must be good too! Thanks for sharing!
