Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 grams Potatoes
- 400 grams Salmon fillets
- 50 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 500 milliliters Milk
- 150 grams Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 50 grams Fresh breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or 400°F. Grease a medium-sized baking dish with olive oil.
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Place them in a saucepan, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes cook, heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper, and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove from the pan, flake into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and Dijon mustard. Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and half of the chopped parsley.
Layer half of the potato slices at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the salmon pieces, then pour over half of the cheese mustard sauce. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, salmon, and sauce.
Sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs and an additional scattering of grated cheddar cheese, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbling and golden on top.
Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve hot. Enjoy this satisfying Salmon Potato Bake with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
