(1) Prepare a fried pan. Add some oil into the pan. Fried the half of salmon (60 g) until it is Medium-Well. Chop it into small pieces and then drizzle 1 tea spoon salt over the salmon. Stir it well

Steps of Assembly

(1) Half the dough. Roll it into a round shape. Spread 25 ml pesto sauce on the top.
(2) Place half of chopped onion, 1 ea chopped mushroom and chopped salmon over the top
(3) Drizzle 30~35 g pizza over the top
(4) Brush some water around the side. Send the pizza into the pre-heated oven at 200C/392F. Bake it around 30~35 minutes until the side turns golden and crispy.


 

Of course… Serve in HOT. The taste of pesto pizza is very different. Not like tomato or BBQ sauce as base, the taste is stronger than tomato or BBQ sauce. So, pesto is not used to moisturize the dough only. You can really taste pesto at every bite. I’ll share how to bake Pesto Salmon Roll tomorrow. Enjoy it.

Creamy Salmon Lasagna


I like lasagna A LOT. I like the multilayer taste in my mouth. Have a very crispy cheese over the top with very tender lasagna with various ingredients inside. Many lasagna dishes sold at restaurants are cooked with tomato meat sauce. But, this was for my lovely flatmates’ farewell party. She likes salmon. Salmone+Tomato sauce… It doesn’t sound very match… So, I decide to use creamy cheese sauce to cook this lasagna. This is the most amazing part of cooking and baking. I can always do some new things. Kitchen is my playfield that I can do whatever what I like.
 

Recipe: Serve 4~5 people
 


 

Steps

(1) Fried Salmon until it is well-cooked. Then, chop it into small pieces. Set aside
(2) Chop onion, mushrooms and spinach into small pieces.


(3) Add 2 table spoon of olive oil into the fried pan. Switch on the medium heat. Add onion into the pan. Cook around 2 minutes.
(4) Then, place all mushrooms into the pan. Fry those around 2 minutes.
(5) Pour double cream and water into the pan. Cover the lid and switch to the high heat. When there are some bubbles starting to pop on the surface, and then lower the heat to the smallest one immediately. We don’t need to boil the creamy sauce. Keep simmering it around 5 minutes.


(6) Add spinach into the creamy sauce. Stir it into the creamy sauce. Keep simmering it around 5 minutes.
(7) Add 100g grated cheese into the pan. Stir it around 3~5 minutes. Then, you will find out the sauce starting to become a little thicken. Add seasoning. Switch off the heat.


(8) Pour the creamy sauce into the baking dish. And then, cover 2 lasagna sheets over the sauce.
 
(9) Pour the creamy sauce into the baking dish again. And place some salmon on the sauce.


(10) And then, drizzle some cheese over the top. Cover another 2 lasagna sheets.
(11) Repeat step (9) and (10) until using out all lasagna sheets.
(12) Pour sauce over the top. And then, drizzle the rest of cheese over the top.
 
(13) Cover with a sheet of kitchen foil. Send it into the pre-heat oven at 200C/392F for 25 minutes. Then, uncover the kitchen foil and cook for another 15~20 minutes until the surface turns a little golden and brown.


It takes lots of steps. But, don’t difficult to do it. When my friends arrived, they smelled the cheese coming from the oven… It made everyone starve. So, it is definitely worth of doing it for your friends and family. When you saw the big smile on their face, it is the happiness I am looking for it. Enjoy it.
