Pkusmc threw down the gauntlet and challenged us to come up with a new version of "S.O.S" - My version is inspired by one of my mom's best hurry-up suppers, creamed salmon over mashed potatoes, or in a pinch, toasted Wonderbread. Read more She'd whip up a quick white sauce, then stir in canned salmon and canned baby peas - the result was a quick, but hearty and comforting dinner. Here, I've used her recipe and fancied it up a bit, using leftover salmon (you can use canned), sauteed asparagus and a little extra flavor in the sauce, served over garlic toast. See less
Ingredients
- 3 to 6 oz. cooked salmon (or a 3 to 4 oz can) shopping list
- 5 tbsp butter, separated (2,1,2) shopping list
- I clove garlic, minced shopping list
- 1 tbsp olive oil shopping list
- 1/2 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1” pieces shopping list
- 1 small shallot, chopped shopping list
- 2 tbsp flour shopping list

- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- 2 thick slices Italian bread shopping list
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or fresh dill shopping list
How to make it
- Place 2 tbsp butter in a small saucepan or microwave safe bowl with the garlic. Melt butter and set aside.
- In skillet, melt another 1 tbsp of butter with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add chopped shallot and cook for 2 or 3 minutes. Add asparagus and cook until asparagus is tender, but still bright green. Remove asparagus with slotted spoon and set aside. Add remaining 2 tbsp butter to skillet. When melted, whisk in flour to create a roux. Whisk in milk slowly, and bring to a boil, stirring often. Add mustard, dill, flaked salmon and asparagus, and heat through.
- Meanwhile, brush bread with butter-garlic mixture and toast in toaster oven, under broiler or on a grill pan/griddle until golden.
