INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the 5 oz salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, until just cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a finely minced garlic clove. Sauté briefly until fragrant.
Add the cooked whole wheat pasta into the pan, then stir in the low-fat cream cheese and lemon juice to create a light, creamy sauce. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated.
Fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt in the warmth of the pasta, about 1-2 minutes.
Plate the creamy pasta with wilted spinach and top with the pan-seared salmon.
Finish with a final drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, if desired, and serve immediately.
