Here's an old-fashioned favorite from my childhood, the classic version of salmon in cream sauce. This Creamed Salmon Recipe is comforting and rich, not to mention budget-friendly and a meal that can be served in a jiffy. We really enjoy creamed salmon served over toast but it's also delicious served on a bed of tender egg noodles or cooked rice.
