To make this I always buy center cut pieces of salmon that are about 1” or more thick. And about 4” long (nose to tail) the pocket for the filling is close to 3”x3” so it’s a nice deep pocket (take your time with a sharp knife and keep it centered) I fill the pocket pretty full and just to the edge of the fish. When cooking I’m usually about 300F until IT of about 120F as you can see in the picks a small amount of stuffing comes out but maybe just a spoon full. The rest stays in just fine. You could toothpick the opening but I usually don’t.
