Total preparation time: 1 hour
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 400 g salmon fillet (preferably fresh)
- 250 g lasagna sheets (dry or fresh)
- 300 g fresh spinach (or frozen)
- 200 g sour cream
- 150 g grated parmesan
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional: 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. If using frozen salmon fillet, make sure to thaw it at least one hour before preparation. Wash the spinach well, and if using frozen spinach, let it thaw and squeeze out the excess water. Cut the salmon into small cubes and season with salt, pepper, and curry.
Step 2: Preparing the filling
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. If you want a more intense flavor, add the chopped garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until golden. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the salmon cubes and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring gently. Finally, add the sour cream and mix well.
Step 3: Assembling the lasagna
In a baking dish, start layering the lasagna sheets, evenly covering the bottom. Place a layer of the salmon and spinach mixture, followed by a layer of grated parmesan. Repeat the process, alternating the lasagna sheets with the filling until the ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of lasagna sheets. Sprinkle the remaining parmesan on top for a golden, crispy crust.
Step 4: Baking
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and let the lasagna bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbly sour cream rises to the surface.
Step 5: Serving
After removing the lasagna from the oven, let it cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting. This will help set the layers and make serving easier. Serve with a fresh arugula and cherry tomato salad for a pleasant contrast.
Personal suggestion: You can also add some green or black olives for an extra burst of flavor. Additionally, this recipe can be adapted by replacing the salmon with another fish, such as tuna or cod, for a different variation.
This salmon lasagna is a simple yet elegant dish, perfect for a weekend dinner or a special occasion. With each bite, you will discover a perfect combination of flavors that will make this recipe a family favorite. Enjoy!
We start preparing the salmon lasagna recipe with the spinach sauce. We sauté the onion in olive oil, add the spinach and spices, sauté for a few minutes, then add the cream and let it simmer. For the Mornay sauce: melt the onion in butter, then make a normal béchamel with flour and milk; when the sauce is ready, generously add Parmesan. The fresh, thawed salmon is cut into pieces. The lasagna sheets are arranged in trays, and the assembly goes as follows: over the sheets, pour the spinach sauce, salmon, white sauce, and so on from the beginning. In the end, there should be a layer of sheets, Parmesan on top, or white sauce. The salmon lasagna obtained is put in the oven (I covered the trays with foil to create steam so that the top sheets cook well). It is served hot, with extra grated Parmesan for those who want it. The salmon lasagna recipe was proposed by BD on the recipe forum. Other lasagna recipes:
