Salmon and Potato Gratin


Serve 1 person, 627kcal, salt content 1.8gr

Ingredients:
Raw salmon 2 slices (about 200g)
Potato 2 (about 300 gr)
Onions  1/2 (about 100 gr)
Cream 1/2 cup
Milk  1/4 cup
Pizza cheese 3-4 tbsp (about 40gr)
Salad oil 1 tbsp
Salt
Pepper
Breadcrumbs 2-3 tbsp

No white sauce needed therefore very simple and easy to make 

How to cook:
1. After peeling the potatoes, cut them into 1 cm cubes.   Put them in the water for 5 minutes and rinse them with water.    Peel onion and cut into thin slices
2. Put them in the pot with some water (the amount of water should be just covering these potatoes) and boil them for 10 minutes until they become soft enough (check softness using a stick)
3. Prepare a frying pan, put 1 tbsp of salad oil and turn the fire to medium
4. Fry the raw salmons 2-3 minutes after seasoning them with a pinch of salt and pepper, until they turn golden brown.   Then put them aside.  
Also fry the sliced onions.   Then pour milk and cream into the frypan together with onions and heat the mixture on low fire for 2 minutes.
5. Prepare a heat-proof bowl and put the golden brown salmon (including the sauce left in the frypan), fried onions, boiled potatoes and then pizza cheese, breadcrumbs in this bowl
6. Bake at 180-200 degrees Celcius for 10-15 minutes  

Check: before the top part gets burn, make sure to cover the bowl with aluminium foil and continue baking.   Top it off by sprinkling some pepper.
