Notes
Budget tip: To save money, replace the salmon with canned tuna, drained, flaked. Freeze it ahead: At the end of step 3, cover with 2 layers of plastic wrap and 1 layer of foil (make sure your dishes are freezerproof). Label, date and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen for 25 minutes or until heated through.
