Smoked Salmon Lasagne

Submitted by Coasty

"This is a different take on lasagne and low fat. A bit of an effort, but you can freeze once cooked. I usually slice into portions before freezing. This recipe is from "Purely Golden Door" pg 125. The Golden Door is a luxurious health resort in the Hunter Valley wine district north of Sydney, Australia"
