Salmon and Spinach Lasagne

Ingredients

  • 400g Salmon
  • 70 g unsalted butter
  • 50 g plain flour
  • 800 ml milk
  • Dill
  • 800 g spinach
  • 200 g ricotta cheese
  • 1 whole nutmeg , for grating
  • 300 g fresh lasagne sheets
  • 100g Cheddar Cheese
  • 50 g Parmesan cheese

 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5.
  2. Bring the milk to a boil in a pot over medium heat. Add the salmon and cook for 8 to 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Transfer the salmon onto a plate and cut it into pieces. Set the milk aside.
  3. Melt 50g of the butter in a pan and whisk in the flour. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then whisk in the milk till smooth. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, add the dill and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  4. Remove the stalks from the spinach, then wilt with the remaining 20g butter in a covered pan. When wilted, drain, then, when cool enough to handle, squeeze out the liquid.
  5. Chop the spinach and mix with the ricotta, a ladleful of the white sauce and a good grating of nutmeg. Season.
  6. In a baking dish, layer the lasagne sheets, salmon pieces, white sauce, spinach mixture, cheddar and a grating of Parmesan. Finish with a layer of pasta topped with sauce and more cheddar and Parmesan.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or till golden.
