  • Preheat the oven to 410 degrees F (210 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in shallots. Cook and stir until the shallots have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add salmon and saute for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and flake salmon with a fork.
  • Combine mascarpone cheese and saffron in a bowl; stir in milk until smooth but not too runny. Mix thawed, drained spinach with lemon juice in a separate bowl.
  • Spread a layer of mascarpone mixture in the bottom of a lasagna pan. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles, some salmon mixture, some spinach, salt, pepper, some tomato sauce, and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers until ingredients are used up. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese has melted, about 30 minutes.
