Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Coat a 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray, set aside.

  • 5. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake covered at 375 for 20 minutes.
  • 6. Remove cover and return to oven for approximately 12 minutes until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly.
  • 7. Remove from oven and sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
  • 8. NOTE: Add more seasonings than listed if you like them, add less or remove them if you don't like them. This recipe is not set in stone .. however ... I recommend you try it this way first and then adjust according to your individual tastes. If you make this recipe and choose to substitute chicken or pork for the salmon or if you add chocolate or hot chili peppers or Dr Pepper you will not be happy and it is not my fault you did not follow instructions so please do not leave negative feedback .. this is a fish dish. Thank you.
