Salmon and Leek Lasagna (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dairy Products

01 - 1 plain goat cheese log from Soignon (150g)
02 - Grated Swiss cheese
03 - Butter

→ Vegetables and Herbs

04 - 4 leeks
05 - 1 shallot
06 - Fresh thyme

→ Seafood

07 - 4 sizable slices of smoked salmon

→ Pantry Items

08 - 9 lasagna sheets
09 - Ready-made white sauce (béchamel)
10 - Olive oil
11 - Ground paprika

# Instructions:

01 - Start by cleaning the leeks thoroughly and slicing them into thin strips. Heat a mix of olive oil and butter in a skillet, then sauté the chopped shallot for about a minute. Toss in the leeks, season them with paprika, salt, and pepper, and let them slowly soften over low heat without browning.
02 - Use a fork to gently crumble the goat cheese log into chunks.
03 - Boil the lasagna noodles three at a time in hot water for 2-3 minutes. Once done, drain them carefully.
04 - Grease a casserole dish lightly with oil. Place 3 lasagna sheets at the bottom, then spread out a layer of the cooked leeks. Add 2 slices of the smoked salmon, arranging them to cover the layer evenly. Pour on a generous amount of béchamel sauce, followed by a sprinkle of the crumbled goat cheese. Do another round of layering following the same steps.
05 - Put the last of the lasagna sheets on top. Cover them with béchamel sauce, then sprinkle on the grated Swiss cheese and the remaining crumbled goat cheese. Add a few sprigs of thyme and a dash of pepper. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 30 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden and bubbly.
