Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked
- 1 (8 ounce) package no-boil lasagna noodles
- 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 2 (9 ounce) boxes frozen creamed spinach, thawed
Dairy and Cheese:
- 3 cups milk
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- aluminum foil
Instructions
- Craft a silky white sauce by whisking oil, flour, and milk until smooth and velvety, then incorporate Parmesan cheese and a generous sprinkle of black pepper for depth of flavor.
- Create a verdant filling by blending fresh spinach with creamy ricotta and grating most of the mozzarella into the mixture, ensuring a rich and vibrant texture.
- Assemble the lasagne in a deep baking dish, starting with a thin layer of white sauce to prevent sticking, then carefully arrange lasagne noodles as the first structural layer.
- Spread the spinach and ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles, followed by delicate flakes of salmon, ensuring each layer is balanced and distributed.
- Repeat the layering process, alternating noodles, white sauce, spinach mixture, and salmon, building height and complexity with each stratum.
- Crown the lasagne with a final layer of noodles, generously coat with remaining white sauce, and sprinkle the reserved mozzarella across the top for a golden, bubbling finish.
- Securely cover the dish with aluminum foil, then bake at 375°F for 40 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and ingredients to cook thoroughly.
- Remove the foil and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, enabling the cheese to transform into a beautifully bronzed, crisp topping.
- Allow the lasagne to rest and settle for 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven, which helps stabilize the layers and intensify the flavors before serving.
Notes
- Customize the white sauce by adding garlic or herbs for extra flavor depth.
- Swap salmon with canned tuna or cooked chicken for protein variety.
- Use gluten-free lasagna noodles to make the dish celiac-friendly.
- Drain spinach thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the layers.
