Salmon Lasagna W/Cheese Sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons white flour
- 2 12 cups milk (I used organic skim)
- 6 -8 ounces gruyere cheese, grated or shredded
- 6 -8 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
- granulated garlic
- onion powder
- 12 ounces salmon fillets, no bones, remove skin and slice into 1/4 in. strips
- 14 sheets no-boil lasagna noodles (I used Barilla)
- 2 -3 cups green zucchini, thinly sliced (3 small)
- 2 cups onions, thinly sliced (2 medium)
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomatoes, petite diced
- 8 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, grated
- Saute~ the onions in a small pat of butter (not listed in ingredients, could instead be oil) until translucent.
- I added about 1 T crushed garlic about 2/3 through cooking.
- Put into a bowl.
- Saute~ the zucchini in the same pan; could use a pat of butter or oil.
- Cook until soft.
- Put into a bowl.
- Make a roux: Melt the 4 T butter in a sauce pan on low/medium heat.
- Once it's bubbling, slowly add the flour, using a whisk to incorporate the flour after each tablespoon.
- Allow the roux to brown, stirring occasionally and making sure not to burn it.
- Add milk slowly - it will look initially wrong but once all the milk is in it will smooth out.
- Continue to whisk to incorporate.
- Let mix come to a slow bubbling.
- Add gruyere and ricotta in a few steps, stirring to melt and incorporate.
- Allow cheese sauce to come back to bubbling after each addition.
- Add garlic and onion to taste.
- Take off burner and put near other ingredients.
- (I used 2 measured c of milk, then added a bit more, so it could be up to 3 c milk total to make it a saucier consistency.
- ).
- Layering: In a 13X9 pan, put a little cheese sauce and 1/3 c of diced tomatoes, mixing them and coating the bottom of the pan.
- Put down a layer of noodles, then ~6 oz diced tomatoes, onions to lightly cover the layer, then zucchini to cover the onion (about half of each).
- Lay down the salmon strips to cover the layer - all the salmon.
- Stir the cheese sauce to incorporate any skin that might have formed, then put ~1.5-2 c sauce over fish to cover.
- Layer noodles, then the rest of the tomatoes, rest of the onion, rest of the zucchini, ~1.5-2 c cheese sauce.
- Layer noodles, cover with the rest of the cheese sauce, then add a layer of mozzarella to cover.
- Bake 1 hr at 350F Let cool before cutting: 5 long X 3 short.
- Enjoy thoroughly!
