I like at least 145 for just about all my fish regardless of species.

An alternative reported in the article is to freeze the salmon at appropriate times and temperatures, which I believe is required for sushi-grade fish. Basically, if you're not pasteurising your fish then it's the same as raw, and needs to be treated accordingly.

40C/104F salmon is one of the great little pleasures in life.

Correct! Freezing at -4°F for at least 7 days is reported to kill any parasites. Thank goodness because slow roasted salmon (250 degrees for 12-15 minutes) is my favorite!!! Every bit as good as smoked.

HorseDoctor, that is why my upright freezer where I store almost all my meats is set to -5F
