Sometimes I think that everyone in Alaska catches salmon. I've cooked in so many ways. This impressive dish pairs salmon and shrimp with a mild sauce.—Darlene Sullivan, Wasilla, Alaska

Delicious.

This was very good! Rich, but good. I used what I had on hand, I didn't have ground mustard, so I just put in a squirt if yellow mustard, and it added just a little zing. I also had some Mexican cheese blend, not cheddar, but it worked fine. I had 3 lbs of salmon to use, but I made like 1.5 of the sauce, not double, and I would NOT have wanted more sauce. That was more than enough. I also just put the 1t salt in the 1.5, due to previous reviews, and it was still a bit salty, I think the butter cheese, etc. probably have almost enough salt on their own. We love salt though, it was fine for us. I used Cornstarch to thicken the sauce because my youngest daughter can't have wheat. I was upset cause the starch turned chunky in the pan. However, once I baked the whole thing, the little chunks melted, and it was just fine. Very yummy overall.

Amazing - this is the first time I've made anything with shrimp so I was a little worried but it turned out fantastic. The cheese sauce was a little too salty, but I notice the online version calls for 1/2 tsp less.

Yum, yum, and more yum. We indulge in this recipe several times each winter. I cut down on the salt in the cheese sauce. Definitely try with broccoli, and maybe some cauliflower.

I hate dill, so I omitted that. And several friends that tried it thought it much better without the dill. Otherwise, a truly fantastic way to eat salmon!!

Just love this recipe, I did cut back on the fat, substituting oil for some of the butter, and not using all the cheese, and using skim milk instead of cream. it turned out wonderful, have made it many times. thanks for the great recipe.

This is a rich and delicious meal that my husband and I enjoy making together. I almost always serve it with steamed broccoli-- the sauce compliments it perfectly. I highly recommend this recipe!
