Creamy Salmon Mac and Cheese

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Salmon Mac and Cheese.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a 9x13 inch baking dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   Next, grab a large pot and fill it with lightly salted water, bringing it to a rolling boil.

3. Step 3

   Once it’s bubbling, toss in the elbow macaroni and let it cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it reaches that perfect al dente texture—this should take about 8 minutes.

4. Step 4

   After draining the pasta, return it to the pot and stir in some softened butter until it melts and coats the macaroni beautifully.

5. Step 5

   While the pasta is cooking, heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

6. Step 6

   Add in the minced onion and sauté it until it turns a lovely golden brown, which should take around 5 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Then, gently fold in the flaked salmon and sprinkle in your favorite seafood seasoning, cooking everything together until it’s warmed through—another 5 minutes should do the trick.

8. Step 8

   Once that’s ready, remove it from the heat and stir in a splash of red wine vinegar, letting it cool slightly.

9. Step 9

   In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded Cheddar cheese, beaten eggs, milk, and vegetable stock.

    Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to your liking before pouring this delightful mixture into your prepared baking dish.

13. Step 13

    Now, let’s add a crunchy topping! Toast some day-old bread until it’s golden brown, then break it into small pieces.

14. Step 14

    In a food processor, blend the toasted bread with grated Parmesan cheese until it becomes a crumbly mixture.

15. Step 15

    Sprinkle this delicious topping evenly over your mac and cheese for that perfect crunch.
