Salmon
Salmon Noodle Casserole
This light, bright twist on tuna casserole is perfect for spring.
Ingredients:
- ¾ pound cavatappi or other short pasta
- coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 8 ounces unthawed frozen peas (1 ½ cups)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- ¾ pounds salmon, skinned and cut into 1-to-1 ½-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus lemon wedges for serving (optional)
- ½ cup chopped scallions, plus more for serving (from 2 scallions)
- ½ cup chopped fresh dill, plus more for serving
- toasted pumpernickel bread, crumbled, for serving (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water 4 minutes less than instructed on pasta package. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Add peas and drain immediately.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add flour; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in milk. Gently simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 7 minutes.
- Combine pasta mixture, milk sauce, salmon, lemon zest, scallions, dill, and reserved pasta water in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to a 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Cover with parchment-lined foil; bake until salmon is just opaque, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Serve, with lemon wedges, more scallions and dill, and breadcrumbs.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Transfer leftover casserole to an airtight container or cover baking dish tightly with plastic wrap before storing.
- To reheat leftovers in the oven, bake casserole, covered, at 350° until hot throughout, about 15 minutes. Alternatively, cover casserole portion(s) with a plate and microwave until hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
