The recipe calls for smoked fish. That means you buy it already smoked (unless you want to smoke it yourself. Smoked fish is already cooked.

I'm definately not a pro at cooking, and have been coming onto foodnetwork.com to get dinner ideas for my family. I thought that cooking a simple smoked fish dinner for them would be great and healthy for the family and an easy meal for me to prepare. However the instructions were terrible. Not once did they mention how to cook the fish.....am I suppose to serve this raw? WTH?
