Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh salmon fillet
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 12 pieces Lasagna sheets
- 200 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Shallots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 500 milliliters Milk
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg, ground
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Dice the fresh salmon fillet into small bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and minced garlic, then sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
Prepare the white sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Gradually add the milk, whisking to form a smooth sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, ground nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese with the chopped fresh dill.
Lightly grease a rectangular baking dish. Spread a thin layer of the white sauce on the bottom of the dish.
Layer the lasagna: Place 3 lasagna sheets in the dish. Spread one-third of the mascarpone mixture over the sheets, followed by one-third of the sautéed spinach mixture and one-third of the diced salmon. Drizzle some white sauce on top.
Repeat the layering process two more times: lasagna sheets, mascarpone mixture, spinach, salmon, and white sauce. Finish with a final layer of lasagna sheets and pour the remaining white sauce on top, ensuring it fully covers the sheets.
Sprinkle the top with extra grated Parmesan cheese for a golden crust.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
