Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked salmon. flaked (fresh is best but a top-quality canned red salmon can be substituted.
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 1/2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- Dash cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley.
Method
In a saucepan, saute onion in butter until transparent. Whisk in the flour. In another pan, bring milk to boil and add all at once to the butter & flour mixture, stirring vigorously with the whisk until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Stir in salt, pepper, cayenne and cream. Stir in flaked salmon and parsley. Heat until very hot and serve over boxty pancakes.
Note: This is a very bland sauce; if you'd like to give it more flavor, may we suggest adding capers? That's our favorite and we usually add about a couple of tablespoons. We've also made the sauce with sherry and cognac which gives the dish a taste similar to the sauce one makes for Lobster Newberg.
