Description
A zesty and flavorful Lemon Dill Salmon Pasta that combines fresh ingredients for a delightful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces fettuccine or tagliatelle
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 pound salmon steak
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- Zest of 1 lime
Instructions
- Begin by boiling the fettuccine or tagliatelle in a large pot of salted water until it reaches a perfect al dente texture. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of the cooking water for later use.
- In a spacious skillet, warm the avocado oil over medium heat. Season the salmon steak with sea salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Place the salmon in the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for about 5-6 minutes. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and break it into chunks.
- Lower the heat and pour the coconut cream, lime juice, and parsley into the same skillet. Stir the mixture gently and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Introduce the drained pasta to the skillet, along with the reserved cooking water, feta cheese, diced bell peppers, and lime zest. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated and the ingredients are well mixed.
- Fold in the salmon chunks and allow the dish to warm through for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the pasta hot, garnished with extra parsley and lime wedges for a refreshing touch.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Incorporate asparagus or zucchini for added texture and nutrition.
