Tips:
- Select High-Quality Ingredients: Choose fresh, wild-caught salmon for the best flavor and texture. Use high-quality lasagna noodles and a flavorful béchamel sauce.
- Cook the Salmon Perfectly: Pan-sear or bake the salmon until it is cooked through but still moist. Overcooked salmon will become dry and tough.
- Make a Creamy Béchamel Sauce: Use a combination of butter, flour, milk, and Parmesan cheese to create a smooth and flavorful béchamel sauce. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Layer the Lasagna Properly: Start with a layer of béchamel sauce, followed by lasagna noodles, salmon, béchamel sauce, spinach, and Parmesan cheese. Repeat the layers until you have used up all of the ingredients.
- Bake the Lasagna Until Golden Brown: Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
- Let the Lasagna Rest Before Cutting: Allow the lasagna to rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving. This will help the lasagna to set and make it easier to cut into clean slices.
