Ingredients

  • 2 6oz cans of salmon
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • salt and pepper
  • lemon
  • fresh dill
  • Saltine crackers or toast for serving

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the flour and begin whisking. If the mixture begins sticking or browning, lower the heat. Whisk until the flour has absorbed the butter.
  3. Add the milk a little at a time while whisking. It will turn into a clumpy paste, just keep whisking until everything is smooth and thickened.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the frozen peas and stir gently with a spoon.
  6. Open the can of salmon, drain the liquid, and add the salmon to the pan. Break up into bite-sized pieces and stir gently into the mix.
  7. Simmer for a minute or two until the salmon is warmed through. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk and stir in gently until it reaches your desired consistency.
  8. Squeeze a little lemon juice and sprinkle fresh dill into the mix; stir gently.
  9. Serve with toast or saltines.
