Lemon-Garlic Pan Seared Salmon with Creamy Herb Pasta
Savor the bright, zesty flavors of lemon and garlic paired with a tender, pan-seared salmon and a light, creamy herb pasta. This dish delivers a satisfying combination of protein and whole grains, highlighted by a refreshing burst of citrus and fresh herbs.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the salmon fillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crispy crust forms. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, in a small bowl whisk together the juice and zest of the lemon, minced garlic, nonfat Greek yogurt, and fresh chopped herbs to create the creamy herb sauce.
Prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions if not already cooked, then toss with a little salt and pepper.
Plate the pasta, place the salmon on top, and drizzle generously with the creamy herb lemon sauce.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired, and serve immediately.
