This had an excellent flavor, and was a great change from the same 'ol ham and scalloped potatoes. But mine seemed kind of runny. I'd probably cut down on the milk next time, or thiken the sauce before I bake. But like I said, excellent flavor.

I took the other 3 reviews to heart and thickened the milk into a white sauce, adding the egg after, and then pouring it over the casserole before baking. I'm afraid the result was still watery but it surely tasted delicious. I baked it at 425° for 40 minutes to set the center of the casserole. I skipped the breadcrumbs.

This recipe is a keeper! The flavor of the dill was lovely. I didn't have the problem of it being runny as I used half and half instead of milk, but I did have to increase the heat and cooking time. After 30 minutes the salmon was still uncooked. I raised the heat to 450 for an additional 15 minutes. I also added a layer of shredded cheese under the breadcrumbs which was delish!
