SALMON AND POTATO CASSEROLE

Category: Casseroles - Seafood

4 cups thinly sliced potatoes
7 1/2 oz can salmon, saving the liquid, broken into bite-size pieces
3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dill weed, optional
2 cups liquid (salmon liquid plus milk)
2 tbsp prepared mustard
1 cup thinly sliced onion

Heat oven to 350. Butter a 6-cup casserole.

Cook sliced potatoes in boiling salted water 10 minutes, and drain immediately.

Put reserved liquid in cup with enough milk to make two cups. Heat butter in medium saucepan. Add flour, salt and pepper, and dill weed; stir to blend. Remove from heat, and add the liquid all at once. Stir to blend, then stir in mustard. Return to moderate heat and cook until boiling, thickened and smooth, stirring constantly. Turn heat to low and continue stirring constantly. Turn heat to low and continue cooking and stirring 2 minutes longer.

Put 1/4 of the potatoes in the prepared casserole, and top with 1/3 of the salmon, 1/3 of the onions and 1/4 of the sauce. Repeat these layers twice more and end with a final layer of potatoes and sauce. If the casserole is wide, three layers might do it. Cover and bake 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and sauce is bubbling well. Serves 4
