Instructions / Directions
Serves: 4 Prep: 20 minutesA quick, wholesome pasta dish made with ASC labelled salmon, fresh herbs, and a light crème fraîche sauce. Ready in 20 minutes – simple, tasty, and full of goodness for the whole family.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, season the salmon fillets with pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Pan-fry for 3–4 minutes on each side, or roast in the oven at 200°C for 10–12 minutes, until just cooked through. Set aside to rest, then flake into large chunks
- Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking gently until softened. Stir in the peas and crumble in the stock cube with a splash of water. Simmer for 3 minutes.
- Add the crème fraîche, season with salt and black pepper, and warm through gently without boiling. Stir in the spinach until just wilted.
- Drain the pasta and toss it through the sauce. Divide between plates, top with the flaked salmon, and finish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon, if you like.
