Sweet Potato Leek Salmon Gratin

January 15, 2015 By Lorena Grater

Jump to Recipe

Collage of Sweet Potato Leek Salmon Gratin images with text overlay for Pinterest.This recipe is inspired by one of my dad’s favorite recipes. He used to make something similar a lot when he was in charge of cooking lunch for the day and too busy to stand in the kitchen for too long. Preparation is done in no time and while baking you can get other things done.

I made this for dinner and paired it with a pre-wached packaged lettuce, whipped up my favorite salad dressing (maple syrup, mustard, olive oil, lemon) and voila a 20 mins prep and 40 mins baking time dinner. I love making meals that require some sort of waiting period while they simmer or bake or whatever to do all the dishes. Eating knowing there will only be a couple of plates and cutlery left to wash is so much more relaxing. Can you hear my inner voice telling you “I hate washing the dishes”? If I had a dishwasher again I would literally be the happiest person on the planet. That is the one thing I miss most about my old flat in London. Yes flat, not apartment *lol*.

Sweet Potato Leek Salmon Gratin prep ingredients.

I made a one person serving of this and the ingredient amounts are for one person so they can easily be calculated for as many people you plan on feeding. One single sweet potato covers your daily requirement of Vitamin A. Sweet potatoes are also a great source of Vitamin C, Manganese and Vitamin B6. Their consumption has high anti inflammatory benefits and the orange kind have been shown to have anti-carcinogenic properties. Paired with the salmon’s omega 3 fatty acid and protein and calcium and protein of cream and cheese this is an extraordinarily nutritious meal. The best part though, it is out of this world d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s.!

    I just made this. Only change is suggest is to bake sweet potato first. To get the cooking started then use to build the gratin. The potato wasnt fully cooked following the method above

      Hi Janine, did you slice the sweet potato too thickly maybe? I’ve never had that problem before but I admit, I cut it very very thinly (1/4″ max). If you want it thicker I guess you could also boil it for 10 minutes before slicing. That way they hold their shape but don’t burn around the edges as they would if you roasted them beforehand.
