VERY delicious!! We were on vacation at the beach condo and had some scallops AND smoked salmon, so I decided to make my version (since I didn't have exactly everything on the list) But this was easy, quick and VERY YUMMY! Everyone loved it! I did use 1 1/4 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cup skim milk and thickened it with flour instead of corn starch. I also added 1/2 of a chopped white onion. Thank you for having the perfect recipe just when I needed it! I will definitely be making this again!! Has LOTS of possibilities for variations!! Thanks again for a wonderful recipe!
