Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked salmon (flaked)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 small onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
- 6 prepared biscuits (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
Prepare the biscuits according to package instructions or your favorite recipe, and keep them warm.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes until it starts to turn a light golden color.
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, making sure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently until it thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
Stir in the flaked salmon, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and 1 tablespoon of the chopped parsley. Let the salmon mixture cook for another 3-4 minutes to heat through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
To serve, split the warm biscuits in half and spoon the creamed salmon generously over the top.
Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley and serve immediately.
