Enjoy a bright and flavorful dish featuring tender, lemon garlic salmon with a light herb-crust paired with a silky, creamy pesto pasta. This dish harmoniously balances tangy citrus notes and aromatic herbs for a satisfying, nutritious meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
2 tbsp Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 clove Garlic
1/2 Lemon (juice and zest)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, minced garlic, lemon zest (from half a lemon), and chopped fresh parsley.
Place the salmon fillet on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with a bit of lemon juice and gently press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of the salmon to create an herb crust.
Bake the salmon for about 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon bakes, prepare the pasta according to package directions, aiming for 1/2 cup cooked portion.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt and basil pesto until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
Once the pasta is ready, toss it with the creamy pesto sauce until well-coated.
Plate the creamy pesto pasta and top with the herb-crusted salmon. Garnish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired and serve immediately.
