Lemon-Herb Salmon Pasta with Peas and Broccoli
Pan-seared salmon and tender pasta tossed in a velvety lemon-yogurt sauce with vibrant green peas and crisp broccoli.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon fillet
1 oz Dry whole wheat penne
1 cup Broccoli florets
0.25 cup Frozen peas
0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
1 tsp Fresh dill
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package directions.
Add the broccoli florets and frozen peas to the boiling pasta water during the final 3 minutes of cooking.
While the pasta cooks, season the salmon fillet on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and easily flaked with a fork.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh dill to create the creamy sauce.
Drain the pasta and vegetables, reserving 2 tablespoons of the hot cooking water to help thin the sauce if needed.
Return the pasta and vegetables to the pot, then stir in the yogurt sauce and the reserved water until well coated.
Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and gently fold them into the pasta mixture.
Garnish with grated parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
