Baked Salmon With Mashed Potatoes

3 lbs. Salmon
Kosher or sea salt
Olive oil
5 - 6 large Potatoes, peeled
8 - 12 oz. Sour cream
8 oz. Cream cheese
4 - 6 oz. Ricotta cheese
2 Eggs, beaten
Saltine crackers, smashed into crumbs
Seasoning - I use one called Northwoods
(It's a mixture of, a pinch of each: paprika, black pepper,
thyme, rosemary, garlic and chipotle)

Clean salmon fillet, wash thoroughly.
Lightly sprinkle olive oil in the bottom of your baking dish.
Sprinkle the salmon with sea salt, olive oil and seasonings.
Form a collar with foil around the salmon. Cut potatoes into small pieces and boil until soft. Drain and place in a mixing bowl. Add sour cream, cream cheese, ricotta cheese and eggs, mash well. Place mashed potatoes on top of the salmon. Sprinkle top with cracker crumbs. Cover top with foil. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
