I used fat free evaporated milk and freshly grilled salmon and more cheese than listed. It was delicious. Just plan on skimming or sieving the evaporated milk if you boil it or heat it for a prolonged time to thicken it as the recipe calls for. It's not cream but it's healthier. I'd like to try this with fat free half-and-half as well.

My husband was talking about this recipe for days--at work, at church, to his friends and family. We just got married, and I think he's enjoying bragging about what a good cook I am. Actually, I have you to thank! I only wish there were an alternative option for the cream. It's EXTREMELY high in fat.
