INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1 tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions, usually in boiling water for about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pat the salmon fillet dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and golden on the edges.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before flaking it into large chunks.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, careful not to burn it.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh dill to create a creamy sauce. Warm it gently for 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to evenly coat with the sauce.
Gently fold in the flaked salmon, ensuring it is well mixed with the pasta and sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, then plate and serve immediately.
