Note

Ensure the salmon is fully cooked before adding it to the cream sauce to avoid overcooking it into a dry texture.

If using fresh salmon, poach or pan-sear it beforehand until just cooked through, then cube it.

Fontina melts beautifully, but you can substitute with mozzarella or gouda if preferred.

Do not let the cream sauce boil vigorously, as the milk solids may separate; keep the heat gentle.

Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a light green salad to balance the richness.
