Creamy Salmon Bake image

The original recipe comes from Australian Good Food and was contributed by a reader and called for 425 grams of Tuna in Oil but as we don't really care for canned tuna I used red salmon (bones and skin as well, drained). After the first making I made a few minor adjustment which I have added as optional ingredients. This is a quick easy recipe that uses pantry staples for during the week. Suggested you serve with a green salad which we did on the first time but much prefer steamed vegetables.
