In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter.

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle simmer.

Stir in the grated onion and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Fold in the drained corn and flaked salmon until evenly coated in the sauce.
-
Pour the salmon mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Spoon the fluffy mashed potatoes over the top, spreading them to cover the filling completely.

Note
Ensure the salmon is well-drained and any large bones are removed before adding to the sauce to avoid a watery pie.
For a richer topping, stir a tablespoon of cream cheese or sour cream into the mashed potatoes before spreading.
Watch the pie closely under the broiler to prevent the potatoes from burning; timing may vary based on your oven's broil intensity.
This pie can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the cooking time if baking from cold.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
