INGREDIENTS
4.5 ounces Salmon Fillet
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove minced Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Mixed Herbs
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon skin-side down. Press lightly with a spatula to ensure even contact.
Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Meanwhile, if not pre-cooked, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small pan, warm a tiny amount of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Toss the cooked pasta with the sautéed garlic, fresh mixed herbs, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Plate the garlic-herb pasta and top with the crispy skin salmon. Garnish with additional fresh herbs or a wedge of lemon if desired, and serve immediately.
