Notes
- If adding other vegetables, make sure they are quick cooking softer vegetables.
- Some shallots and garlic make a nice base for this dish.
- You can use any cheese that melts well in this recipe.
- Top it with some fresh herbs, extra cheese and a sprinkling of pine nuts.
- Add some extra flavour to this by using smoked salmon instead of a salmon fillet.
- Love a kick of spice with your meals? A sprinkling of red chilli flakes before serving works well.
- If you don't want a creamy sauce, then you can swap it for your favourite tomato based sauce instead. Have you tried our Easy Tomato Pasta Sauce?
