Method

  1. Place the milk, onion, bay leaf and cloves into a saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer for 4-5 mins then remove from the heat. In another saucepan, melt the butter then stir in the flour until you have a creamy paste. Gradually pour on the milk whilst whisking until you have a sauce of double cream consistency.
  2. Add the smoked salmon, spinach and dill and nutmeg to the sauce. Pour into a shallow dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, dot with butter and grill for 3-4 mins until crisp. Finish with a squeeze of lemon. Serve with thick cut crusty or wholemeal bread.
