Ingredients: 4 Salmon filets, no thicker than about 1/2 inch thick; 4 medium Russet potatoes, diced; 1/3 cup half & half or whole milk; 2 tablespoons butter; 2-3 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish, or to your taste; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more for the salmon; 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, plus more for the salmon; 1 egg, beaten; olive oil for the pan; 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1
In a large pot, boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat, drain and return them to the pot.
2
Mash the potatoes with a masher or potato ricer until smooth with no chunks.
3
Add the half & half or milk, butter, horseradish, salt and pepper. Mix well and taste to adjust seasonings.
4
Add the beaten egg and set aside.
5
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
6
Rinse the salmon and pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and white pepper.
7
Oil a baking pan with olive oil. Place the salmon skin side down onto the pan.
8
Spoon the potato mixture into a pastry bag with a large tip (or a make shift pastry bag made out of a plastic baggy).
9
Pipe the potatoes onto each salmon filet in the pattern of your choice. I made rows of little stars. You could also just smooth the potatoes on the salmon with a spoon.
10
Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes start to get golden.
11
Sprinkle the fresh dill on top and serve.
