Dilled Salmon Soufflé
Perfect for lunch or brunch, this is a classic soufflé that begins with a thick cream sauce. It bakes in the convection oven in about one-third the time of a conventional oven, although at the same temperature.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Position the oven racks so that the top rack is one level below the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection bake at 350°F. Grease a 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter and dust evenly with the Parmesan.
Step 2
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a 2-quart saucepan and blend in the flour and salt. Slowly whisk in the milk and heat to boiling, stirring or whisking vigorously. Cook until thickened. Remove from the heat and add the parsley, dill, and lemon juice.
Step 3
Whisk the egg yolks and salmon into the cream sauce.
Step 4
Whip the egg whites until they hold short, distinct peaks. Fold about half of the whites thoroughly into the sauce; gently fold in the remaining whites.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the soufflé dish and bake for 35 minutes, until lightly browned and almost completely set in the center. Serve immediately.
