Alaskan Halibut Lasagna

By Addie

I use tender, mild halibut that we catch in Cook's Inlet near our home for this delectable white lasagna. Even "meat and potatoes lovers" compliment its great taste. You can substitute cod or chicken for the halibut if you like. - Evelyn Gebhardt, Kasilof, Alaska

Ingredients

• # 6 tablespoons butter, divided
• # 1-1/2 pounds halibut steaks
• # 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• # 2 garlic cloves, minced
• # 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• # 1/2 teaspoon salt
• # 1-1/2 cups chicken broth
• # 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• # 8 ounces lasagna noodles
• # 2 cups (8 oz) shredded Swiss cheese
• # Minced fresh parsley, optional
• =========================

Preparation

Step 1

Remove bones from fish and cut into 1-inch cubes.
Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions, drain and set aside.


In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add halibut and thyme. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove and set aside.



Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Stir in flour and salt until smooth; cook and stir until golden brown. Gradually add broth and cream. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.



In a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish, layer half of the noodles, halibut, white sauce and cheese. Repeat layers. Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake 20 minutes longer or until bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with parsley if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
