ALASKAN HALIBUT LASAGNA
I use tender, mild halibut that we catch in Cook's Inlet near our home for this delectable white lasagna. Even "meat and potatoes lovers" compliment its great taste. You can substitute cod or chicken for the halibut if you like. -Evelyn Gebhardt, Kasilof, Alaska

Tips:
- Choose fresh and firm Alaskan halibut. Look for fillets that are opaque in color and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are discolored or have a strong fishy odor.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the halibut fillets into thin strips. This will help the halibut cook evenly and will make it easier to eat.
- Season the halibut fillets with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Cook the halibut fillets in a hot skillet until they are cooked through. This will help to prevent the fish from becoming dry or overcooked.
- Make sure to use a good quality lasagna noodle. This will help to ensure that the lasagna is cooked evenly and will not fall apart.
- Layer the lasagna with plenty of cheese. This will help to create a rich and flavorful dish.
- Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will help to ensure that the lasagna is cooked through and is ready to serve.
