INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet (skinless)
1 oz Chickpea Pasta (dry)
1 cup Broccoli
1/2 cup Egg Whites
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the salmon dry, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
Sear the salmon skin-side down (if skin is on) or presentation side down for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon reaches desired doneness.
In another pan, lightly sauté minced garlic in 1/2 tsp olive oil over medium heat for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the egg whites over low heat, stirring frequently until just warmed. This will be incorporated lightly to boost protein without scrambling them completely.
Plate the cooked chickpea pasta and top with the seared salmon. Arrange the garlic broccoli alongside and drizzle with lemon juice.
Optionally, spoon the warmed egg whites on top of the pasta for an extra protein boost. Serve immediately.
