Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Pot
- 1 Frying pan
- 1 Lasagna dish that fits in the air fryer
Ingredients
- 400 g salmon fillets skinless and boneless
- 250 g fresh spinach
- 9 pcs lasagna sheets pre-cooked or fresh
- 200 g ricotta cheese
- 50 g parmesan cheese
- 2 dl milk
- 1 dl cream
- 2 clove garlic finely chopped
- 1 pcs onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp salt and pepper
- ½ tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:Finely chop the onion and garlic. Rinse and drain the spinach. Cut the salmon into smaller pieces.
- Sauté the Spinach:Heat a little olive oil in a pan and sauté the spinach, onion and garlic until the spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper.
- Make the Ricotta Mixture:In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with dill, a little salt and pepper.
- Make the Milk Mixture:In a small saucepan, heat the milk and cream. Add the grated parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese melts. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Lasagna:Start by placing a layer of lasagna sheets in the bottom of the lasagna dish. Add a layer of salmon, then the spinach mixture, and finally the ricotta mixture. Repeat the process until all the ingredients are used. Finish with a layer of lasagna sheets and pour the milk mixture over the top.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. Cover the lasagna dish with foil and press it firmly around the edge so the airflow can't lift it. Place the dish in the air fryer. Bake under the foil for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 5-8 minutes until the top is golden, the lasagna is heated through and a knife slides easily through the sheets.
- Serving: Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Cooking Tips:
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh spinach and good-quality salmon for the best flavour.
- Lasagna Sheets: If you're using regular dried lasagna sheets (not the pre-cooked, no-boil kind), boil them al dente in lightly salted water according to the packet instructions before assembling the lasagna. Otherwise they won't soften in the roughly 25 minutes in the air fryer.
- Even Distribution: Make sure to spread the ingredients evenly across the layers, so every bite has a good balance of salmon, spinach and cheese.
- Check the Cooking: Since air fryers vary, keep an eye on the lasagna while it cooks to avoid it getting too brown.
Serving Suggestions:
- Fresh Herbs: Garnish with fresh herbs like dill or parsley to add freshness and colour.
- Salad: Serve with a light mixed green salad with a simple vinaigrette to add freshness and balance.
- Bread: A piece of crusty baguette or focaccia bread is excellent for soaking up any sauce.
- White Wine: A cool, dry white wine like Pinot Gris or Chardonnay will complement the flavour of the salmon perfectly.
- Lemon: Serve with a wedge of lemon to squeeze over, which will bring out the flavour of the fish.
