Description

Salmon and Broccoli Gratin is a comforting baked dish featuring tender salmon, vibrant broccoli, and a creamy cheese sauce topped with golden breadcrumbs. It’s a wholesome, all-in-one meal that’s perfect for cozy dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (boneless, skin removed, about 1 lb total)
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups grated cheese (cheddar, gruyère, or a mix)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for breadcrumbs)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Steam or blanch the broccoli florets for 2–3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, and cook until soft, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in milk (and cream if using), cooking until the sauce thickens and is smooth.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in grated cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until the cheese is fully melted.
  7. Flake raw salmon into bite-sized pieces.
  8. In a greased baking dish, combine the salmon and broccoli. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top.
  9. In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the gratin.
  10. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown on top and the salmon is cooked through.
  11. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Drain broccoli well to avoid a watery gratin.No need to pre-cook the salmon—it will cook in the oven.Use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs to make it gluten-free.Smoked or canned salmon can be used for added flavor or convenience.Assemble ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
