– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried dill
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Begin by preparing the potatoes. Peel and thinly slice them, ensuring they are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, dried dill, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
4. Place a layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom of the greased baking dish, creating an even base.
5. Cut the salmon fillet into smaller pieces and place them on top of the layer of potatoes in the dish.
6. Pour half of the cream mixture over the salmon and potatoes, ensuring even coverage.
7. Add another layer of sliced potatoes on top of the salmon, then pour the remaining cream mixture over the potatoes, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
8. Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the salmon is cooked through.
9. Remove the foil and switch the oven to broil. Broil the dish for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
10. Once done, remove the Scalloped Salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
