Salmon Mornay Bake
"Based on a recipe from Australian magazine Recipe+. The original called for canned tuna which I have changed to canned salmon. Upon making this I have changed some of the quantities to suit our tastes - the original recipe called for 350 grams of broccoli, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest and 1 cup fresh bread crumbs. Would also consider adding cauliflower and carrot to make it more a complete meal on the plate."
