This is a bit of a hybrid recipe from the previous Salmon And Vegetable Gratin recipe. Basically you replace the cauliflower with pasta shells, flake the salmon and mix with sauce and diced broccoli florets. Surprisingly it works very well. If cheating you can add cheese and crushed crisps of your choice and grill for 5 minutes. Please note: This is a calorie heavy dish, if your on a low carb diet you may want to avoid. The fats are mainly good fats.
