**Salmon And Potato Casserole**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
– 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Place a layer of sliced potatoes on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping the slices. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Spread half of the sautéed onions and garlic over the potatoes in an even layer.
5. Top with half of the salmon pieces and frozen peas. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
6. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onions, garlic, salmon, peas, and cheese.
7. In a medium bowl, mix the heavy cream and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Carefully pour the cream mixture over the casserole, ensuring it evenly covers all the ingredients.
9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
10. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top of the casserole is golden brown and bubbly.
11. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
12. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
