Dry ice will sublime, or turn from a solid state into a gas state at room temperature. Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide at room temperature is a gas. If you left dry ice at room temperature for a few hours, depending how much you have, will completely sublime into gasous carbon dioxide.

Solid CO2 is commonly refered to as Dry Ice. It is produced by allowing liquid CO2 to expand to atmospheric pressure which forms dry ice snow. This snow is then compressed to form the blocks and pellets you can buy. As the triple point of CO2 ( the point where liquid, solid and gas all coexist) is -56.6 oC and 416.5 kPa pressure, both colder and a much lower pressure than a normal room, the the Dry Ice would simply sublime into CO2 gas.

Cooked salmon should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If it has been left out longer than that, it should be thrown out because bacteria can grow quickly at room temperature. If the salmon is smoked, it should not be left out at room temperature for more than 3 hours.
