Ingredients
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • ¾ cup shrimp stock
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 TBS all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup 2% or whole milk, divided
  • ½ tsp dried dill
  • ¼ tsp salt, divided
  • 1 cup shredded Jarlsberg cheese, divided
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • Fresh lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
  1. In a medium pot, cover potatoes with water so that it almost covers them. The tops should stick out of the water a little. Bring to a boil uncovered and simmer until the liquid has evaporated, 30-45 minutes. Check often as it gets close so that they do not scorch.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet. Whisk in flour to make a roux, stirring for 3-5 minutes to deepen the flavors. Whisk in ¾ cup shrimp broth and ½ cup milk. Stir until it comes back to a boil. Mix in dill and half the salt. Taste test and adjust seasonings as necessary. Remove from heat.
  3. When potatoes are cooked, mix in ¼ cup Jarlsberg cheese, ¼ cup milk, and the remaining salt. Mash with a potato masher to your desired consistency.
  4. In a baking dish, layer fish, potatoes, and sauce and top with remaining cheese. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes.
  5. Cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
