Soak white bread in lukewarm water and squeeze out water. Rinse fish fillet, pat dry, coarsely chop and puree with the bread.
Rinse and trim scallions and cut into thin rings. Rinse lemon in hot water. Cut mozzarella into cubes.
Combine fish mixture with scallions, lemon zest and juice, herbs, mozzarella and eggs. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
For the sauce, melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and cook until frothy. Gradually pour milk into butter, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook 10 minutes over medium to low heat. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
With the help of a teaspoon, fill the cannelloni with fish mixture and put side by side in a greased baking dish. Rinse tomatoes, cut into slices and spread over the cannelloni. Baste with the sauce.
Bake 35 minutes, until lightly browned in a preheated oven (200°C) (approximately 375°F). Remove canelloni from pan onto plates to serve.
