Ingredients

For Salmon

  • 2 lbs salmon uncooked
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper

For Bechamel Sauce

  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 5 tablespoons flour
  • 3 cups warm milk
  • 1 tablespoon dill
  • Juice of 1 large lemon or 2 small ones
  • 1-2 teaspoons dijon or stone ground mustard
  • 1/4 cup gruyere cheese grated
  • Salt + Pepper to taste

For Lasagna

  • 6 oz asparagus trimmed and cut in 2 crosswise
  • 9 lasagna sheets of pasta the no-boil kind
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup gruyere cheese grated

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • 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

Assembly

  • Place 3 sheets of lasagna noodles on the bottom of a rectangular 9x13" baking dish
  • Add 1/3 of the sauce and place the steamed asparagus in a single layer
  • Top with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper
  • Top with 3 more lasagna noodles
  • Add 1/3 of the sauce
  • Place all the salmon making sure it covers the whole layer
  • Top with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese
  • Top with 3 more lasagna noodles
  • Add the rest of the sauce and spread to cover the whole surface
  • Add 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and gruyere
  • Bake for 30 minutes
  • Broil for 2-3 minutes or until the top has browned
  • Remove from the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes before cutting
  • Enjoy!
