Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 500 grams salmon fillet
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Boil the potato slices in salted water for 7-8 minutes, or until just tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, season the salmon fillet with half of the salt and pepper. Lightly pan-sear the salmon in a non-stick skillet with the olive oil for about 2-3 minutes per side, until partially cooked. Remove from heat, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, the remaining salt and pepper, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the saucepan. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
Grease a medium-sized casserole dish with a little olive oil or butter. Layer half of the boiled potatoes on the bottom of the dish, followed by half of the salmon. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the layers.
Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, salmon, and cheese sauce.
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle the mixture evenly on top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
Allow the casserole to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Salmon and Potato Casserole!
