SALMON BAKE
Serves 4
1 lb can salmon, drained well, skin and bones removed [See below the recipe for the adjustment to this ingredient.]
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 C raw carrots, peeled and grated
1 small bell pepper, diced
½ C mayonnaise or salad dressing (preferably homemade—see
recipes in Basics and Appetizers … sections)
Butter
1 Tbsp flour
½ C milk
1/8 tsp paprika
1 egg, beaten
2 slices white bread (preferably homemade—see recipes in
Baked Goods section)
Preheat oven to 350o. Sprinkle salmon meat with
lemon juice, and fold in carrots, bell pepper, and mayonnaise or salad
dressing. Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a saucepan, stir in flour until smooth, add
milk, and cook and stir until thick., Remove from heat, stir in paprika, stir a
little bit of hot mixture into egg, then stir back into mixture (taking care
not to curdle egg). Fold sauce into salmon mixture and spread in a lightly
greased casserole. Butter bread slices, cut into squares, and arrange buttered
sides up over top of casserole. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and hot.

ADJUSTMENT
As I mentioned, Mr. Big Food had purchased two salmon filets (from the U.S.A.) on our way home last evening. He comments,
In the Salmon recipe I replaced canned salmon with 12 oz salmon steaks, grilled
over charcoal, then skins removed and flaked.
