Sun Dried Tomato Salmon Pasta
Get ready for a flavour explosion with our Sun Dried Tomato Salmon Pasta! Perfectly cooked salmon and tangy sun-dried tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces of salmon fillet
- 8 ounces of dried pasta
- ¼ cup of sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- ¼ cup of olive oil
- ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Make sure to cook it al dente, so it retains a slight firmness. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, let’s prepare the salmon. Season the fillet with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil
- Place the salmon in the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the skillet and flake it into bite-sized pieces.
- In the same skillet used for the salmon, add the minced garlic and sauté it for about a minute until fragrant. Then, add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing them to release their flavour. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic. Drizzle the olive oil over the pasta and toss everything together to ensure the pasta is well coated.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together. Finally, add the flaked salmon to the skillet and gently mix it into the pasta.
- Once everything is well combined, it’s time to serve.
