This seafood lasagna is a delicious and light twist on a classic lasagna, and it's pretty fool proof. Fresh prawns and flaky salmon, haddock and cod, all mixed together with a spinach and leek mix and layered up with lasagna sheets and a creamy cheese sauce. Comfort food can be healthy too!

Ingredients and Substitutions
A full ingredients list, along with US Customary and Metric measurements, can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Fish pie mix - This can normally be bought fresh or frozen from your local supermarket. Ours contained cod, haddock and salmon.
- Prawns (shrimp) - We used frozen king prawns and defrosted them first.
- Shallots, garlic, leek and spinach - To add a veggie boost to the lasagna.
- Lasagna sheets - We used dried.
- Butter, flour, milk, cheddar, Dijon mustard and nutmeg - All needed for the cheese sauce. Alternatively, use our Cheddar Cheese Sauce recipe.
- Stock and chives - These help flavour the fish.
- Parmesan - To give the lasagna a nice cheesy topping.
Variations
Vegetables - We used leek and shallots to give it a bit of chunky texture and bulk it out a little and then added spinach for a green boost. I always think spinach goes well with salmon and prawns too. You could use kale instead though.
You really could use any vegetables though and one of our favourite ways to adapt this recipe is by roasting some vegetables like peppers, mushrooms, red onion, courgette and aubergine and adding that to the lasagna.
Fish - You could add scallops to this too, or even some cod and haddock.
How to Make Fish Lasagna
- Step one: In a large pan, heat the oil and then add the shallots, garlic and leek and gently heat for 5 minutes until softened.
- Step two: Add the spinach (a) and gently cook for 2 minutes until wilted (b).
- Step three: Add all the fish and stock and stir and gently cook for 5 minutes, until the fish is just cooked and the stock has reduced. Flake the fish and stir in the chives.
- Step four: Meanwhile, make the béchamel by melting the butter in a saucepan (a) and add the flour and mix well (b). Then, gradually add the milk a little at a time (c) and whisk quickly so get rid of all lumps. Stir in the nutmeg, Dijon and cheddar (d).
- Step five: Add a little cheese sauce to the bottom of a lasagna dish (a) and top with some of the seafood and spinach mixture (b). Add a layer of lasagna sheets (c). Repeat to build up the lasagna to 3 layers, finishing with a layer of béchamel. Sprinkle with the Parmesan (d).
- Step six: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden.
Serving Suggestions
This is a really filling meal, but if you want to serve it up to a few people and you wanted to add some sides to it, then some garlic bread/dough balls and a big green salad to lighten it up would work.
Why not try our Cheesy Garlic Bread or Air Fryer Garlic Bread and a Little Gem Salad or Rocket Salad.
Any kind of green vegetable like tenderstem broccoli and green beans would be a nice addition too.
Dannii's Top Tips
- You could add scallops to this too, or even some cod and haddock.
- We used a red sauce (but didn't make it too rich so it didn't take anything away from the fish flavours), however you could stick with a creamy white sauce.
- Try roasting up some vegetables and stirring it into the seafood mixture.
- Leftovers freeze well for up to 2 months.
- You can make a low carb version of this by swapping the lasagna sheets for grilled courgette or aubergine.
