Seared Salmon with Creamy Spinach Pasta
Pan-seared salmon served over protein-packed chickpea pasta tossed in a light, garlicky spinach cream sauce with a sprinkle of salty parmesan.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 ounces Salmon Fillet
2 ounces Chickpea Pasta
1/4 cup nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 cups Fresh Spinach
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Boil a pot of water and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta water before draining.
Season the salmon fillet with a pinch of 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 the exterior is golden and crisp.
Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside; in the same pan, add the minced garlic and spinach, sautéing until the leaves are just wilted.
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the Greek yogurt, grated parmesan, and the reserved pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce until well coated, then plate and top with the seared salmon and an optional squeeze of fresh lemon.
