Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into chunks
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
