This easy & delicious Salmon Lasagna Recipe is made with flaky salmon and asparagus. Then is baked in a dilly Bechamel sauce. Perfect for weeknight dinner.
Place salmon in a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil
Season the salmon with olive oil, salt, and pepper
Bake for 16 minutes (salmon will be a tad underbaked)
Remove from the oven and flake into large chunks with a fork
Meanwhile steam asparagus for 2-3 minutes
For Bechamel
Warm the milk in the microwave
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat
When the butter is melted, add the flour and whisk until everything is incorporated and the flour is cooked (about 45 seconds to 1 minute)
Add the warm milk and whisk vigorously to avoid lumps
Keep whisking until the sauce starts getting thick and creamy
Add the dill
When the sauce boils, remove from heat and add the dijon mustard, lemon juice, gruyere cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined and check for seasoning
