Well...the hubby said it all..."this is so yummy"...he's not a big fan of salmon...but I guess when it's served in a tasty cream sauce...he is...this is going to be on my best of 2021 list...I had planned to serve it with red pepper flakes...but forgot...I do have a small serving of leftovers...so I might just be able to get those peppers on the dish...I like the idea of using asparagus in the dish...I'll be trying that next time...made for "Billboard" tag game...

I did have to make some changes for dietary reasons in that I had to omit the onion and I scaled back for 3 serves as I was putting a salad on the plate as well with garlic bread on the side and still had a serve left over and as we love our salmon I used a 400g can of red salmon. This is very similar to how I make my salmon mornay except I add cheese to the white sauce and sometimes serve in vol-e-vents with mashed potato and steam vegetables. I loved the addition of the chives to this recipe, I used garlic chives which just gave it a subtle taste of garlic. Thank you Luvcookn, made for Billboard Recipe Tag game.

Very easy simple tasty recipe. My tin was a bit shy of 220 grams so I made 3/4 of the recipe. I was heavy handed with the pepper and next time I will add some chili flakes. I am a spice freak. The recipe is lovely as isfor 99% of everyone and I completely enjoyed it. This recipe will be made again and again. Thanks for a lovely easy dinner.
