New World Salmon Florentine
This casserole uses chunks of fresh salmon with a lot of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. It also has real cheese for flavor. Don't use low-fat cheese—it won't melt correctly.
Ingredients
-
2 cups flaked cooked salmon fillet (about 12 ounces)
-
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves, washed and chopped
-
2 cups cooked tricolor chunky pasta
-
2 stalks celery, sliced thin
-
1-1/2 cups skim milk
-
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
-
2 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese (about 3/4 cup), divided
-
1/4 cup sundried tomato pieces, chopped (not oil-packed)
-
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine salmon, spinach, pasta, and celery in an ovenproof baking dish.
Heat milk in a small sauce pan; don't let it boil. Stir in mustard and half of the Gruyere cheese until it melts. Add sundried tomatoes and fennel seeds. Let cook for a few minutes until tomatoes are softened.
Pour sauce over the salmon mixture. Top with remaining Gruyere cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
