12 oz (340 g) wild salmon fillet
1 bay leaf
2 1/4 cups (560 mL) fish or low-sodium vegetable stock
2 Tbsp (30 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (60 mL) potato flour
1/2 tsp (2 mL) lemon juice
1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground black pepper
1/4 tsp (1 mL) grated nutmeg
1 tsp (5 mL) chopped fresh dill
2 lbs (1 kg) potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
1/2 cup (125 mL) whole milk
6 oz (170 g) shrimp, cooked, shelled, and deveined
Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C).
Place salmon in large saucepan. Add bay leaf and stock and bring to boil over medium heat. Turn heat down, cover, and leave to simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until fish is cooked throughout. Remove salmon from pan and leave to cool. Reserve cooking liquid. When salmon has cooled, remove and discard skin and break salmon into chunks. Set aside.
Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and whisk until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes. Add 2 cups (500 mL) reserved cooking liquid and whisk until smooth. Increase heat to medium and bring mixture to simmer, whisking constantly. Remove pan from heat and whisk vigorously to break up any lumps. Add lemon juice, pepper, nutmeg, dill, and stir well. Set aside.
Put potatoes in large saucepan and cover with cold water. Place over high heat, bring to boil, turn heat down, partially cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until potatoes are tender. Drain; stir in milk and remaining 1/4 cup (60 mL) reserved cooking liquid. Mash until smooth.
Add salmon and shrimp to sauce and pour into 8 x 8 in (20 x 20 cm) square baking dish. Spoon mashed potatoes on top, spreading evenly, using spoon to create scallops, so it resembles fish scales. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until top is golden.

Bean Stuffed Zucchini with Cheesy Sauce
This plant-only recipe may look like it required a lot of fuss, but it comes together easily. Tender zucchini is loaded with a hearty and satisfying bean mixture and then finished off with a drizzle of cheesy tasting sauce. What’s nutritional yeast? Not to be confused with brewer’s yeast or the active dried yeast used to make bread and pizza crust, nutritional yeast is a deactivated form of a micro-organism that is dried into flakes with an abundance of naturally occurring glutamate. Glutamate is an amino acid that interacts with specific taste cells in the tongue to unleash an umami, cheesy wave of flavour. Blend it with silky tofu and some seasonings and … bingo … vegan cheese sauce.
Sausage-Rice Stuffed Chard with Walnut Sauce
Reminiscent of the stuffed cabbage of yore, the flavour profile of these stuffed chard smacks of cozy fall. It looks all fancy, but everything comes together surprisingly quickly. If desired, you can use turkey or pork sausage and brown rice. Time-saver tip For larger grains, such as wild rice and spelt, it’s a very good idea to soak them for several hours before cooking. This will slash the cooking time by about a third. If not soaking the wild rice, add roughly 20 minutes to the simmering time.
Freekeh Medley Stuffed Eggplant
This stuffed eggplant is built upon layers of Middle Eastern flavours: smoky freekeh, tender chickpeas, and a herbal tahini sauce. The quick-pickled raisins add a sweet vinegary pop. Sweat it out Salting eggplant before cooking enhances the flavour by allowing eggplant to sweat out its bitterness and breaking its spongy texture.
Turkey Enchilada Stuffed Poblano Peppers
In this enchilada riff, we stuff everything into a roasted poblano pepper shell, rather than tortillas, to pack an extra veggie serving into your meal and trim the starchy calories. If you can’t find poblanos, which are mild, dark green Mexican peppers, you can substitute green bell peppers. Flour power Made from nixtamalized corn (corn soaked in limewater), masa harina flour adds a touch of corny flavour to enchilada stuffing or a pot of chili.
