Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Pierce each potato 3-4 times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Lightly coat a baking sheet with a short spray of cooking spray oil. Arrange the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spread out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the skin is crispy.
While the potatoes bake, slice or shred the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with the lemon zest. Mix well until the zest is evenly distributed throughout the sour cream.
Once the potatoes are fully baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a slit or make a cross on the top of each potato and gently squeeze from the ends to open it up.
Spoon a generous dollop of the lemon sour cream mixture into each opened potato. Top with a portion of the smoked salmon.
Serve the smoked salmon potatoes hot. Optionally, you can garnish with fresh herbs such as dill or chives for added flavor and presentation.
