How to Make Sunday Salmon Casserole

  1. Peel and thinly slice 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes. Boil in salted water for 5 minutes until slightly tender.
  2. Drain potatoes and set aside.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 4 ounces of lox, finely chopped, and 1 tablespoon of fresh dill. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In a separate pan, sprinkle a 1-pound salmon steak with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and steam for 5-8 minutes, or until it flakes easily.
  7. Once cooled, remove skin and bones from the salmon and break into chunks.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked salmon, lox mixture, and 4 ounces of cream cheese, cut into cubes.
  10. Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish. Layer the bottom with the cooked potato slices.
  11. Top the potatoes with the salmon and cream cheese mixture.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup of milk, salt, and pepper.
  13. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
  14. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of paprika.
  15. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown.
  16. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving.
