Seared Salmon Pasta with Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes
Pan-seared salmon fillet tossed with chickpea pasta and wilted spinach, topped with blistered cherry tomatoes and a squeeze of zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1.5 ounces Chickpea Pasta
2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1.1 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the fish is cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and set it aside on a plate to rest.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes, sautéing for 2 to 3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and blister.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss frequently until the leaves are just wilted.
Add the cooked pasta and lemon juice to the skillet, tossing everything together to coat the pasta in the light pan sauce.
Gently flake the salmon into large pieces and fold it into the pasta mixture before serving warm.
