This was lovely. I did make one change, I added the salmon last, just as the sauce thickened, since i prefer my salmon more on the "uncooked" side. Thanks.

Love that smokey flavor. I made "cream" with skim milk and fat free cream cheese and tripled that part of the recipe in order to have enough sauce. If you don't at least double the cream you won't have any sauce at all.
