Ingredients

• 250 grams salmon fillet (skinless, boneless)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
• 4 pieces slices of bread (toasted)

Directions

Step 1

Poach the salmon: Fill a small saucepan with enough water to cover the salmon fillet. Bring to a gentle simmer, then lower the salmon into the water. Cook for 8–10 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the water and set aside to cool slightly before flaking into small pieces with a fork.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 3

Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue cooking and whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Add the flaked salmon to the cream sauce and gently stir to incorporate. Cook for 2–3 minutes over low heat to warm the salmon through.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the chopped parsley and stir to combine. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

To serve, place the toasted bread on individual plates. Spoon the creamed salmon mixture generously over each slice of toast.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy!
