I'm always looking for good recipes to add to my winter comfort food list. If they can include some healthy elements, then so much the better. I love this Salmon and Broccoli Potato Bake because it tastes really indulgent with its creamy, cheesy sauce but it's also full of peas and broccoli, and of course salmon! It's a bit of a spin on one of my other favourite winter recipes- Beef Mince Hot Pot, which also features sliced potatoes on the top. If you're a fan of this type of dish then have a look at Garlic Chicken and Leek Potato Bake too.

Salmon and Broccoli Potato Bake

Salmon and Broccoli Potato Bake- salmon, broccoli and peas in a cheesy sauce and topped off with sliced potatoes. A real winter warmer for family meals.
prep time: 20 minscook time: 25 minstotal time: 45 mins

ingredients:


  • 2 skinless, boneless salmon fillets
  • 150g broccoli
  • 100g frozen peas
  • 300g potatoes
  • 50g butter
  • 50g plain flour
  • 500ml skimmed milk
  • 25g grated cheddar cheese
  • 5 sprays of spray oil

instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200 (180 fan, gas mark 6)
2.Chop the salmon into chunks and spread across the bottom of a casserole dish.
3. Chop the stalk off the broccoli and cut the head into small florets. Spread them, along with the frozen peas, on top of the salmon.
4. Slice the potatoes (skin on) 1 cm thick and pop into a saucepan of water. Bring to the boil and leave for 2 mins before draining. You want them to be softened but not falling apart.
5. Melt the butter in a small saucepan on medium heat. Mix in the flour until it makes a paste and allow to cook through for a minute or two, stirring occasionally.
6. Slowly add the milk, stirring as you go and allowing to thicken. You want it to have some thickness to it, but it must be runny.
7. Stir in the grated cheese until it has melted.
8. Pour the sauce over the other ingredients. It should just cover them.
9. Layer the potato slices over the sauce, each one slightly overlapping.
10. Spray the potatoes with spray oil.
11. Pop into the oven for around 25 minutes or until the potatoes are browning on top.
12. Serve.

NOTES:

Rather than discarding the rounded ends of the potatoes, which are a bit hard to layer, pop them on a baking tray along with any left-over slices and spray them with oil. You can always slice up another potato as well and then bake them in the oven as 'bonus potatoes' for any potato lovers.

Although this serves 3, it's easily doubled for a bigger crowd- you may need two casserole dishes though.
