Cook: Healthy Recipes

These are recipes I mentioned on last weeks Menu Plan Monday both are good and can be made with all items off the shelf especially if you had dried onions, celery, and carrots so great food storage recipes and healthy.

Salmon Souffle

2 tablespoons flour (I use whole wheat and it works fine)
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
2 egg yolks, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley ( can used Dried)
1 tablespoon minced onion
dash nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
1 can (16 ounces) salmon, flaked
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat; stir in flour. Gradually stir in milk. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until thick. Add a little of the hot mixture to the beaten egg yolks, then return the egg yolk mixture to the sauce, stirring quickly to blend. Add parsley, onion, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir in the flaked salmon. Fold in egg whites then pour into a lightly buttered 1 1/2-quart casserole. Bake at 325° for 55 to 65 minutes, until golden and set. Salmon Souffle serves 6.
