Salmon Mornay

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.
