Use high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor. Sockeye or Scottish smoked salmon are excellent choices. Don't overcook the salmon in the sauce, as it can become dry and lose its delicate flavor. Just warm it through. For a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for the milk. A squeeze of lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors.
