Description

For this casserole, salmon, potatoes, and cream sauce are baked under a cheesy topping creating a comforting casserole perfect for cold winter evenings.

Ingredients

4 cups sliced potatoes
1 (16 ounce) can salmon, drained (liquid reserved) and salmon flaked
1 cup milk, or as needed
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon prepared mustard

Directions

1 Place potatoes into a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain.
2 Mix reserved liquid from salmon and enough milk to make a total of 2 cups together in a measuring cup or bowl.
3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Generously grease a casserole dish.
4 Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir flour into melted butter and cook until dissolved, about 1 minute. Gradually add milk mixture to butter-flour mixture; cook, constantly stirring, until sauce is thickened and smooth, 5 to 10 minutes.
5 Layer potatoes, salmon, and sauce, alternating 1 or 2 times, into the prepared casserole dish.
6 Whisk mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard together in a bowl; pour over casserole.
7 Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
