Ingredients

  • 2 cups vegetables any assorted vegetables will work, we love green beans and green peas
  • 1 pound salmon or other eseafood, thaw before using if needed
  • 3 TBSP butter
  • 3 TBSP flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or use whatever you have on hand
  • 6-8 cups mashed potatoes-leftovers or instant work just fine

Instructions

  • if you need to par-boil your vegetables bring a small amount of water to a boil, add vegetables, cook for 2 minutes, cover and remove from heat
  • remove the skin from the fish if necessary and cut into roughly bite size pieces
  • arrange in 9x13 baking dish and set aside
  • melt the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat, whisk in the flour and salt
  • cook and stir for one minute then slowly whisk in the milk
  • keep whisking it and cook until it begins to thicken
  • reduce the heat and gradually add all the cheese
  • taste and adjust for salt and maybe add a pinch of pepper
  • drain the vegetables and sprinkle them over the fish in the baking dish
  • pour the cheese sauce over the top
  • cover the top with the mashed potatoes, no need to spread smoothly, let some of the cheese sauce show through
  • bake in the oven at 350˚ for 40 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling up over the potatoes in places and the potatoes are starting to turn brown
  • let it rest 5 minutes or so to let it cool down a bit
  • You'll probably want to serve this with a nice hunk of bread for soaking up extra cheese sauce.
