Dill Licious Salmon And Spinach Lasagna Recipes

SALMON LASAGNA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk the milk into the flour mixture, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese and pepper, remove from heat and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix spinach, mozzarella cheese, and ricotta cheese together in a medium bowl.
• Spread 1/4 cup of the white sauce over the bottom of a rectangular baking dish. Arrange 1/3 of the lasagna noodles overtop, overlapping to fit. Spoon 1/2 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles and top with 1/2 of the salmon. Repeat layers once more, then top with remaining noodles and remaining white sauce. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove and discard foil. Continue baking until bubbly, another 15 minutes.

DILL-LICIOUS SALMON AND SPINACH LASAGNA:

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Pour wine into a wide shallow sauce pan, add lemon, garlic and about half of the dill (whole stems will work best), and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a low simmer, add salmon, and poach until cooked through, turn once if liquid does not cover fish.
• Set salmon aside, and allow to cool. Remove dill sprigs, lemon slices, and garlic, increase heat to high, and reduce poaching liquid to 1/2 cup.
• Thin creme fraiche with reduced cooking liquid to a drizzle-able sauce consistency. Stir in green onions, pimientos, nutmeg, and the other half of the dill minced fine, and salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Flake salmon into generous bite size pieces with a fork or fingers. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions.
• Lightly oil the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Layer 1/3 each of pasta, spinach leaves, salmon, sauce, and cheeses. Finish with cheeses on top.
• Bake about 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly, and cheese is melted.
• Allow lasagna to cool slightly and set up before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

SPINACH AND SALMON LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 410 degrees F (210 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in shallots. Cook and stir until the shallots have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add salmon and saute for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and flake salmon with a fork.
• Combine mascarpone cheese and saffron in a bowl; stir in milk until smooth but not too runny. Mix thawed, drained spinach with lemon juice in a separate bowl.
• Spread a layer of mascarpone mixture in the bottom of a lasagna pan. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles, some salmon mixture, some spinach, salt, pepper, some tomato sauce, and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers until ingredients are used up. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese has melted, about 30 minutes.

STEAK AND SPINACH LASAGNA

Steps:

• Begin the meat sauce by whirring the tomatoes in the food processor to a puree of the texture you prefer; set aside.
• If you are using un-ground steak, trim the meat of fat and gristle and grind it (we use the food grinder attachment on our KitchenAid).
• In a heavy pan or pot, sauté the ground meat until browned, about 15 minutes.
• Add the chopped onion, mushrooms, and garlic and sauté until the onion is transparent.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, oregano, brown sugar, balsamic, and the tomato puree, and bring to a boil; reduce temperature, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes then uncover and let reduce until thickened, another 15 minutes, then set your meat sauce aside (can be made a day ahead and stored in refrigerator).
• Begin the cheese sauce by melting the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then while whisking sprinkle in the flour, salt, white pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne or Tabasco (if using); cook, whisking or stirring, for 1 minute.
• Raise temperature to medium-high and gradually add milk, whisking continually, until well-incorporated; bring to a light boil then reduce heat to low and cook while stirring for 1 minute.
• Remove sauce from heat, stir in the cheddar and Parmesan until cheeses melt; set aside (can be made a day ahead and stored in refrigerator - microwave cheese sauce for 2 to 3 minutes to make it easier to spread when assembling the lasagna).
• Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; lightly oil the bottom of a 11x9-inch baking dish or lasagna pan.
• Begin assembling the lasagna (3 layers pasta, two layers of sauce mixtures): cover the bottom of the pan with one layer of 3 cooked lasagna noodles, then spread noodles with half of the meat sauce, then cover meat sauce with half of the cheese sauce.
• If using frozen and thawed spinach, press or squeeze as much liquid out of it as possible; sprinkle cheese layer with the chopped fresh basil, then spread the fresh or frozen spinach over.
• Top with another layer of 3 pieces cooked pasta, spread with remaining meat sauce, then remaining cheese sauce, and top with the final layer of 3 pieces cooked pasta.
• Combine the grated cheddar and Parmesan in a bowl, then sprinkle it over the top of the lasagna.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes and the cheeses are bubbly and golden; remove from oven, let stand for 10 minutes, and serve with salad, garlic bread, and balsamic roasted asparagus.
