This recipe can also be made with seafood. This is how I make it using canned salmon. The pastry crust is optional. Now that I am using almond milk (I like Almond Breeze), I will probably use that to replace the milk or cream. The cook time does not include baking time for the optional pastry shell.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but this salmon gratin was surprisingly delicious. The salmon was moist and flaky, and the sauce was rich and cheesy. I would definitely recommend this dish to anyone, even if they're not a big fan of fish.
