Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked salmon (flaked)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 small onion (finely diced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
• 6 prepared biscuits (homemade or store-bought)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the biscuits according to package instructions or your favorite recipe, and keep them warm.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes until it starts to turn a light golden color.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, making sure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently until it thickens (about 3-5 minutes).

Step 6

Stir in the flaked salmon, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and 1 tablespoon of the chopped parsley. Let the salmon mixture cook for another 3-4 minutes to heat through.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

To serve, split the warm biscuits in half and spoon the creamed salmon generously over the top.

Step 9

Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley and serve immediately.
