Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams salmon fillet (skinless, boneless)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces slices of bread (toasted)
Instructions
Poach the salmon: Fill a small saucepan with enough water to cover the salmon fillet. Bring to a gentle simmer, then lower the salmon into the water. Cook for 8–10 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the water and set aside to cool slightly before flaking into small pieces with a fork.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue cooking and whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the flaked salmon to the cream sauce and gently stir to incorporate. Cook for 2–3 minutes over low heat to warm the salmon through.
Sprinkle in the chopped parsley and stir to combine. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
To serve, place the toasted bread on individual plates. Spoon the creamed salmon mixture generously over each slice of toast.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
