Salmon penne is a delicious and nutritious dish that brings together the richness of salmon and the tanginess of cherry tomatoes, all in a wholesome whole-wheat pasta. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that is both satisfying and healthy.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the whole-wheat pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This usually takes about 9-12 minutes.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup (60ml) of the pasta water, and set aside.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the salmon pieces and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until they are translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, until they start to soften and release their juices.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked salmon to the skillet and gently stir to combine with the vegetables.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, along with the reserved pasta water, and gently toss until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Divide the salmon penne among plates or bowls.
- Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Salmon Penne!
Tips:
- Cook the pasta al dente to ensure it has the perfect texture when mixed with the other ingredients.
- Season the salmon with your favorite herbs and spices before cooking to add an extra layer of flavor.
- If you prefer a creamier sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of crème fraîche to the tomatoes before mixing in the pasta and salmon.
- For an added touch of freshness, sprinkle some chopped fresh basil or parsley on top of the finished dish.
- Make sure not to overcook the salmon; it should be tender and just cooked through to maintain its moisture and flavor.
