Cheese Crusted Salmon Potato baked with Bechamel Sauce



Here is an amazing mouthwatering continental fish recipe. In this recipe, Salmon is baked on a potato bed . Most of the people including myself love this combination very well. This is perfect for weekend dinner with some salad. Its also very easy to prepare and its taste is just divine. Here I have used Bechamel Sauce and herbs which make it tasty and flavourful. Cheese crust give it a beautiful top layer. So, in this dish you will get carbohydrate and protein together. So, its almost a complete meal. Lets go through the recipe.

  18. Place the marinated salmon on the half baked potatoes.
  19. Spread the Bechamel sauce over it.
  20. Cover the top with grated cheese.

  22. Again bake at 180°C for 20 minutes.
  23. After that remove the dish from oven. Cut into 4 pieces.
  24. Serve it hot.

My Tip: 

  • I have used Salmon fish on the skin. If you want you can use skinless fish as well.
  • Any fish fillets like Bhetki, Hake, Cod, Basa can be used instead of Salmon.
  • Here any processed cheese can be used. I have used Gouda cheese (Dutch local cheese).
  • Spice amount can be adjusted as per your taste.
  • Instead of potato, sweet potato can also be used. That also goes very well.
