*Salmon, Broccoli and Potato Gratin*
Serves 4 to 6

This is such a simple supper dish, using store cupboard ingredients, yet yielding huge flavours.   Delicious!

1/2 of a bag of frozen hash browns, thawed and crumbled

1 broccoli crown, trimmed and separated into florets

2 (170g) tins of boneless skinless salmon, drained ( 2 6-oz tins)

20g fresh soft bread crumbs (1/2 cup)

4 TBS freshly grated Parmesan cheese

225ml of single cream (light cream)
2 TBS fresh pesto

4 TBS milk
2 to 3 TBS butter cut into bits

fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 200*C/400*F/ gas mark 6.  Butter a gratin dish.

Mix together the bread crumbs and half of the Parmesan cheese.  Set aside.  Steam the broccoli until crispy tender, set aside

Crumble the hash browns into the bottom of the casserole dish.  Sprinkle with the 4 TBS of milk and some seasoning.   Sprinkle the remaining half of the Parmesan cheese over top.  Chop the broccoli and
sprinkle this in an even layer over the potatoes.   Crumble the salmon and sprinkle it over the broccoli.  Whisk together the cream and pesto.  Pour this over top of the salmon evenly  Sprinkle the bread crumb and cheese mixture over top of all.   Dot with butter.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until just browned.   Serve immediately.  A crusty loaf goes well with this.
