This recipe came printed on the bottom of an ovenproof dish my mum had given to her about forty years ago. It became a family favourite, especially for parties so I usually double the quantity when I make it. As it is usually served with several other dishes I guessed at how many serves it makes.
Ingredients:
1 (310 g) can canned red salmon, drained
45 g butter
1/2 cup plain flour
salt and pepper, to taste
600 ml milk
1/2 lemon, juice and zest of
1 pickle, sliced (optional)
3 shallots, chopped (green onions)
1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup cheese, sharp grated
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, soft
1/2 tablespoon butter, melted

1. Melt butter, add flour, salt and pepper and cook approximately 1 minute.

3. Pour into casserole dish and top with buttered breadcrumbs (breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter).
