For a richer flavor, consider using half-and-half or cream in place of some of the milk. A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, subtle depth to the sauce. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to blend it briefly after the salmon and peas are added. Fresh dill or parsley, chopped finely, makes an excellent garnish.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large saucepan, gently warm the milk over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Aim for just below a simmer. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk the flour with a 1/2 cup of the warm milk until smooth. This creates a slurry to prevent lumps. (2 minutes)
03
StepSlowly pour the flour mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk, whisking constantly to incorporate. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly. (8-10 minutes)
04
StepAdd the drained peas to the sauce and allow them to heat through, stirring occasionally. (3 minutes)
05
StepGently fold in the flaked salmon, being careful not to break it up too much. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (2 minutes)
06
StepContinue cooking, stirring gently, until the salmon is heated through and the sauce has reached your desired consistency. Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it can become dry. (3-5 minutes)
07
StepServe immediately over your choice of toasted brioche, saltine crackers, or even mashed potatoes.
