Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the 1 lb (450g) of salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil, and season lightly with salt. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes. Once cooled slightly, break into large chunks of cooked, flaked light pink salmon.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 12 oz (340g) of thick ruffled lasagna noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until slightly al dente. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper.
- Melt 1/2 cup (113g) butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/2 cup (60g) flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in 3 cups (710ml) whole milk and 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream. Add 1 tsp (5g) salt and 1/2 tsp (1g) white pepper. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until you achieve a thick, glossy white sauce.
- Reduce oven to 375°F (190°C). Smear béchamel on the bottom of a 9x13-inch white ceramic baking dish. Lay down pasta sheets. Spread béchamel over the noodles, then scatter half the flaked pink salmon. Repeat layers of noodles, sauce, and salmon.
- Top the final layer of noodles with the remaining sauce and an even layer of the 3 cups (340g) shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover, switch to Broil, and broil for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is blistered and charred to a crispy golden-brown with dark toasted spots.
- Remove from the oven and garnish the bubbly cheese surface with 2 tbsp (8g) finely chopped fresh green parsley flakes. Let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes
Tip 1: Do not overcook the salmon initially; it will finish cooking in the lasagna.
Tip 2: Watch the broiler closely so the cheese blisters beautifully without burning completely.
