When I first thought of this recipe, the words 'creamy' and 'salmon' didn't sit well with me. But I decided to give it a try and the results are pretty good. The herbs and cheese added to the béchamel sauce makes the difference.
Ingredients :
Two salmon fillet portions
Pasta of choice according to box directions.
1/2 cup Frozen peas, steamed set aside.
1 cup Broccoli florets, steamed, set aside.
About a half cup of Parmesan cheese
One Lemon
1 Tb fresh Dill
2 Tb Fresh Parsley
1 small shallot bulb
salt
How to :
For salmon : remove pin bones, sprinkle with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder.
Cook on broil for 6-7 minutes. Turn off oven and let the salmon finish cooking in oven. Break up into chunky pieces. Set aside.
Steam peas and broccoli and set aside.
Prepare your pasta of choice according to direction on box. Tubes, macaroni, fusilli etc ( not a fan of spaghetti or fettucine for this dish)
In a pot on medium heat, melt 3 Tb of butter. To the melted butter, add finely diced shallots and cook until shallots are translucent, then add 3 Tb of flour. Mix into a paste. Add 1 and half cups of milk. Whisk until the sauce becomes thick and saucey. Add half a cup of grated fresh parmesan cheese, dill, parsley and 1/2 tsp salt. Add zest on one lemon and juice of lemon. Mix. Set aside.
In a baking dish add cooked pasta and toss in the cream sauce. Add peas and broccoli. Gently toss in the salmon as to not break up the pieces.
Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top and bake in a 375 oven for about 10-12 minutes until cheese melts golden.
Enjoy !
