6 servings
For the casserole
- 8 oz wide egg noodles
- 2 cans (14.75 oz each) salmon, drained and flaked
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
For the béchamel
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - 1 small yellow onion, finely diced

- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the topping
- ¾ cup plain breadcrumbs
