Ingredients
Method
In large pot of boiling salted water, cover and cook potatoes for 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, remove and let cool slightly. Add spinach to pot; cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain, pressing out liquid; let cool.
Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices; gently toss with half each of the salt and pepper. Set aside.
In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add flour; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk; cook, stirring, until thickened, about 8 minutes. Stir in cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon rind and remaining salt and pepper.
Pour 1 cup (250 mL) of the sauce into 13- x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish. Arrange one-third of the potatoes over sauce; layer spinach, chopped green onions, half of the remaining potatoes then the smoked salmon over top. Top with remaining potatoes. Pour remaining sauce over top. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Cover with foil; bake in 375°F (190°C) oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Broil until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
