Description

A quick and easy snack or lite dinner of creamed salmon and peas. Goes great over buttered toast.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup cold milk
1 (10 ounce) can canned green peas, drained, liquid reserved
1 (14 3/4 ounce) can salmon
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1 In a saucepan or skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour, stirring constantly, until a smooth paste is formed. Gradually add milk and reserved liquid from peas, stirring constantly, until a smooth thick gravy is formed.
2 Flake salmon into a bowl, breaking apart any large pieces. Stir salmon and peas into the sauce carefully with a wooden spoon to avoid mashing the peas. Cook until heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
3 Toast bread in toaster oven or broiler pan. Butter, if desired, and top with salmon mixture.
