Description

The easiest one-pot dinner with linguine noodles in a light cream sauce, with tender flaked salmon, tomatoes and spinach. Ready in under 20 minutes!

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ lb cooked spaghetti noodles (or linguine)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp salted butter
  • ½ lb salmon fillet
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 2 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes (sliced in half)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook ½ lb spaghetti noodles in a large pot of salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Season the ½ lb salmon fillet with salt and black pepper. Slice the fish in half if it’s too big to fit in the pan.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 Tbsp of salted butter and 1 Tbsp of olive oil to a large pan over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, place the fish skin-side up and sear for 2-4 minutes. Flip over and sear another 2-4 minutes, or until fish is opaque and cooked.
  4. Step 4: Remove the salmon and add to a plate. Use two forks to flake the fish into large chunks and remove it from the skin. Set aside for now.
  5. Step 5: Add another 1 Tbsp of olive oil to the pan over medium heat along with 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook for 1 minute. Pour in the ½ cup chicken broth. Scrape down the bottom of the pan using a spatula to remove any baked-on bits. Let the broth cook for 4-5 minutes to let it reduce.
  6. Step 6: Now add 1 cup heavy cream, 2 cups baby spinach, 1 cup grape tomatoes, ½ cup grated parmesan, 2 Tbsp lemon zest, and ½ tsp salt. Mix together. Cook for 1 minute to soften the spinach.
  7. Step 7: Remove the pan from the heat. Add the cooked pasta and flaked salmon. Toss everything together. Sprinkle with more grated parmesan if desired.
  8. Step 8: Scoop on to serving plates. Drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice and a bit of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes

Let the salmon sit at room temperature for 10-20 minutes before cooking for more even results. Cook the pasta al dente and rinse under cold water. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat, adding a splash of cream to rejuvenate.
