Dinner was extra special last night after serving this! Even my picky DS loved it and he is hard to please. Make sure you go easy on the nutmeg, so it doesn't overpower the other flavors. Will make again! Oops, I forgot to add that I used fresh poached salmon instead of the smoked, and we loved it!
