- Once the salmon had cooked add this (without the skin) to the cheese mixture, breaking it up and mixing it through.
- Once cooked add the drained pasta to the same mixture. Mix it all together and add to a oven proof dish (you may wish to preheat the empty dish in the oven or microwave before so it’s not cold). If you think you have more than what you need here, you can divide into portions ready for freezing.

Notes
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
When freezing, it is best to divide into child friendly portions and freeze prior to grilling (though leftovers can still be kept & frozen after grilling!). When you’re ready to use, defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight. To reheat, reheat in microwave until piping hot before adding some fresh cheese and grilling for a couple of minutes to crisp up the top.
Safety Tip: Even if you are using raw Salmon that has been previously frozen to make this dish, the cooked leftovers can still be frozen & reheated for another day!
