Salmon Pasta

Here’s a delicious recipe for salmon pasta:

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets (about 200g each)
• 300g pasta (such as penne or fettuccine)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup spinach leaves
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried dill)
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:
   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Salmon:
   • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Once cool, flake the salmon into large pieces.
3. Make the Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
   • Add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is smooth.
   • Stir in the cherry tomatoes, spinach, dill, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Combine and Serve:
   • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce.
   • Gently fold in the flaked salmon.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
