Salmon Spaghetti


So I recently got a request for something a little healthier (i guess pasta drenched in Ceaser dressing isn't that good for you ;) I love ya Tay!

I saw this on the Food Network and we have had it multiple times since. I never was very into Salmon, since it is such a strong flavor, but this recipe along with a few others have brought fish back into my life!

Ingredients:
- Whole Grain Spaghetti
- 2 cloves garlic
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Salmon Fillets
- 1 tbls Basil Leaves
- 1 Zested Lemon
- 2 tbls Lemon Juice
- Spinach Leaves (Optional- its almost better as just a salad on the side)

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8-10 mins or until al dente; drain. Transfer pasta to a large bowl and add garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to combine

Meanwhile, warm olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Season the Salmon with salt and pepper. Add fish to pan and cook through (about 5 mins per side)

Add basil and lemon juice to spaghetti and toss to combine. For one serving- Place spinach on bowl and top with spaghetti. Place 1 piece of salmon on pasta and top with lemon zest. Serve Immediately w/ Spinach if you want it!

  4. Great combo, sometimes just a little noodling is what the salmon needs.

I have to admit I am not the creator for most of these recipes! Most of these come from friends or the Foodnetwork, and other websites. I usually tweak it, but i get them from other sources. THANK YOU OTHER PEOPLE,but please... use them, circulate them, make them your own. Just make sure you give the credit to the right person, which isn't always me!
