Salmon Mornay

Baz's Note:

A delicious and simple meal. Served with plain rice, my kids love it. Can also substitute canned tuna (or chicken) for the salmon. As the first reviewer has pointed out, it works just as well if you substitute more milk for the cream. If I do that I generally add a bit more cheese though.

Overall yes a very quick and easy dish my main problem was I cannot see this serving 6-8 as is, I used a 415 gram can of red salmon drained and kept with the other quantities though due to dietary reasons had to omit the celery and sub spring onion/scallion for the onion and used extra cheese, I did like the the addition of the cream but the corn overall most of us would give a miss. Preperation time was generous but then I didn't do celery and the spring onion may have been quicker than regular but is definately a good bench mark to work with. Served with rice and steamed veg., thank you Bax, made for ZAAR Che Alphabet Soup.

I have made this on several occasions but somehow forgot to rate it!.. I have just prepared it for dinner tonight. This recipe is so quick & easy and lots of flavour. Nice just as is and also very good with a salad on the side. A great standby as most of the ingredients are readily available in my kitchen. Thanks for the recipe
