Melt the butter, mix with lemon juice/zest, then drizzle over everything.
-
Bake for 22–25 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and the veg is soft.
Creamy Salmon Pasta (Serves 4)
Ingredients:
• 2 salmon portions (approx. 300–350g total)
• 300g pasta (penne or tagliatelle work best)
• 200ml double cream
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• ½ tsp paprika
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• A handful of spinach (optional)
• Olive oil or butter, for frying
Method:
-
Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to packet instructions. Reserve a small cup of the pasta water, then drain.
-
Pan-fry the salmon: heat a little oil over medium heat, cook for 4–5 minutes skin-side down, then 2–3 minutes on the other side until flaky. Remove, flake into chunks, and set aside.
-
In the same pan, add a bit of butter or oil, then sauté the onion for 3–4 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
-
Pour in the cream, season with paprika, salt, and pepper, and simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
-
Add the pasta and a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce. Stir in the salmon pieces (and spinach, if using).
-
Toss gently to coat, warm through for 1–2 minutes, and serve immediately.
Tip: Garnish with lemon zest or grated Parmesan for extra flavour.
