This recipe can also be made with seafood. This is how I make it using canned salmon. The pastry crust is optional. Now that I am using almond milk (I like Almond Breeze), I will probably use that to replace the milk or cream. The cook time does not include baking time for the optional pastry shell.

This was a delicious and easy-to-make dish. I used frozen salmon fillets and they turned out great. The sauce was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the gratin turned out perfectly. The salmon was cooked through but still moist, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I served it with roasted vegetables and it was a delicious meal.
