Directions:
- Heat oven to 350F
- Dry the lasagna sheets on paper towels.
- Wrap each cylinder with parchment paper and seal the ends together with a dab of butter.
- Wrap each lasagna sheet around the wrapped cylinders ensuring they are completely flat, then
- place them side by side on the rack, ends facing down and placed so that they won’t roll.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes, making sure they do not brown. You may want to lower the
- oven temperature depending on your oven. The need to feel crispy to the touch and no longer
- soft. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
- Trout Tartare
Ingredients:
- 380g Rainbow or Steelhead Trout filets, skinned and scaled (save the skins!)
- 1 Cup Canola oil
- 2 Tsp. Sesame oil
- 2 Tsp. Toasted white sesame seeds
- Juice from 1-2 limes
- 1-2 Tbsp. Ponzu sauce
