Ingredients

• 500 grams salmon fillet
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 250 grams egg noodles
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons parsley leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Grease a medium-sized casserole dish with olive oil and set aside.

Step 3

Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

Season the salmon fillet with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until just cooked through. Let it cool slightly, then flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

In a large skillet, melt 50 grams of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw taste. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well, then fold in the cooked egg noodles and flaked salmon. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Pour the salmon and noodle mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, and the remaining 50 grams of melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 10

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

While the casserole bakes, prepare the dill butter. In a small saucepan, melt 50 grams of butter and stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill. Remove from heat.

Step 12

Once the casserole is done, drizzle the dill butter over the top, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Salmon Casserole with Dill Butter!
