What we love about this baked salmon zucchini lasagna :
- It’s quick and easy to make – just prepare the ingredients and pop everything in the oven to bake!
- It’s healthy but also rich and creamy.
- It has salmon in it – one of the noblest of omega-rich ingredients.
- It has aneth in it. This spice makes this pasta so much more delicious!
- This is the perfect dish to make in the evening and eat again the next day. The leftovers may be even tastier than freshly made lasagna.
- Thos corner pieces. Is it just me or is that corner piece with the curnchy cheese on top the best?! I love that piece. (Oh, I call it by the way.) 😉
- It’s very nutrient rich – packed with chunks of fresh, organic salmon and lots of organic zucchini.

This looks delicious but the “grated cheese ” added at the end would be what kind of cheese ? Could you clarify please

You can use your favorite cheese! We used grated emmental. Thanks for pointing that out – I will updated the recipe to say “emmental”. Enjoy! This lasagna is so tasty!
