Recipe For Smoked Salmon Lasagne

There's a little bit of prep work to do to make the cheese sauce and to cook the mushrooms but after that it's simply a matter of layering everything together and baking for about 45 minutes.

Note also that I've used “no pre cooking required” lasagne sheets, it's just so much easier in my book. Also, I haven't added any salt and that's because there's a significant amount in the smoked salmon. I found the results to be seasoned pretty well in this way so my advice would be to taste it before adding additional salt.

Quantities of smoked salmon and cheese can be varied to your taste so see how you go. There's enough here to serve 4 main portions – I used a casserole dish approx 10” x 7”.

Serves:- 4 people

Preparation Time:- 30 minutes
Cooking Time:- 50 minutes

Total Time:- 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients:-

• Packet of 'no pre-cooking required' egg lasagne
• 60g or 2½ oz butter butter
• 250g or ½ pound sliced mushrooms
• 40g or 1½ oz plain flour
• 300ml or 1¼ cups of warm milk
• 150g or ½ cup double cream
• 100g or 3½ oz grated mozzarella cheese
• 250g or ½ pound sliced smoked salmon
• 250g or 1½ cup tinned tomatoes chopped
• 240g or 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• Pepper

Method:-

Melt 20g of the butter in saucepan, add the sliced mushrooms, season with pepper and cook for 5 minutes until soft. This will extract any moisture so you'll need to remove them from the pan with slotted spoon and put to one side.

Melt remaining 40g butter, add the flour and whisk over gentle heat until smooth then remove from the heat and slowly add the warm milk to create smooth sauce. Return it to the heat, bring to the boil whisking all the time until sauce thickens then reduce the heat and cook for 1 - 2 minutes, continue stirring. Finally take it off the heat and stir in mozzarella cheese and double cream – that's the sauce done.

To assemble the smoked salmon lasagne

1. Put a layer of sauce on base of your casserole dish and sprinkle with ¼ of the cheddar cheese.
2. Place lasagne sheets on top (3 approx.)
3. Pour over a “layer” of sauce and sprinkle with another ¼ of cheddar cheese
4. Cover with a half of the tomatoes, half of the cooked mushrooms and half of the salmon
5. Repeat 2, 3 and 4 and finish with 2 and 3.

Bake for 45 - 55 minutes at or 190°C (375°F) until the cheese begins to brown and place it under the broiler for a final 5 minutes if you want that crispy top to your smoked salmon lasagne.
