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

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 cups half-and-half cream
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
