This is one way to use cheap autumn salmon. I tried out various recipes but this gratin was well-received by my family, so it often makes an appearance during the fall months.

Be sure to thoroughly cook the fish in the pan.
In the oven, it'll get a nice cooked look on the outside, but without any heat through the middle, it'll still be raw. So be sure to cook it well in Step 3! For serving 4-5. Recipe by Mayumi

Steps

1

Mince the onions and cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces. Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and sake.
2

Pre-heat your oven to 445F/230C.
3

Sauté the salmon in a pan with 1 tablespoon of oil. Once golden brown, arrange in the bottom of the gratin plate.
4

Thoroughly cook the onions with butter (or margarine). They should be wilted and have a slightly amber color.
5

Add the flour and cook until no longer floury. Adjust the heat to avoid burning.
6

Add milk to the pan gradually to create the white sauce. Once it's boiled slightly and has a thickness, turn off the heat and season with salt and pepper.
7

We're going to use a lot of cheese for the flavor at the end, so if you feel it's a bit thin at this point, that's okay!
8

If using a store-bought white sauce, add to the pan in Step 4, and add milk accordingly to adjust the thickness.
9

Cover your gratin plate from Step 2 with the white sauce you prepared in Step 5. Cover with easy melting cheese, Parmesan cheese, and parsley, in that order.
10

Bake for about 10 minutes at 445F/230C. Once the cheese has a nice baked color, it's finished.
