The bomb diggity! I went searching becuase we catch a lot of fish and smoke ourselves and I often wonder what else can I do with it besides laying it on top of a bunch of salad greens. This dish was a HUGE HIT at the family dinner table with children ages 6, 10, 12 - who all asked for seconds. I am the type that doesn't measure and made the recipe for the family of 5 and have one serving left over. roasted two very small onions harvested from my own garden in toaster oven, made a beschemel with 2T of butter & 2 T of flour and added approx 2 C of Half & half because I didn't have cream handy and added approximately 1/4 c of the grated parmessan cheese I had on hand, knowing they would sprinkle more on top. Salt, pepper and dried dill to taste. Added to 1 lb of bowtie pasta. Everything modified to what I had on hand. Saucy enough and not overly cheesey. A keeper! thanks JC for a wonderful recipe!

Wow. Although a little richer than most of the things I cook, this is a delicious treat. I made it pretty much as written, (including roasted green onions- what a nice flavour they add!) However, I used only a single cup of cream, added loads of fresh dill as well as the zest of one lemon in the cream sauce. I'll be making this again. I served with steamed asparagus and roasted Brussels sprouts.
