Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut into 1-2 inch pieces.
- Zest the lemon to get 2 tablespoons of lemon zest.
- Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper (optional).
- Place the halved cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until they’re soft and a bit caramelized.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water, and set aside.
- During the last 3-4 minutes of the pasta's cooking time, add the asparagus pieces to the same pot.
- Drain along with the pasta once both the asparagus and pasta are cooked.
- While the pasta and vegetables are cooking, heat a pan over medium-high heat.
- Add a small amount of olive oil to the pan (if needed).
- Cook the salmon 4-5 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness) until it’s fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from heat, and flake the salmon into large pieces, discarding the skin.
- In the same pot used for the pasta, combine the drained pasta, asparagus, roasted cherry tomatoes, flaked salmon, and lemon zest.
- Add a splash of the reserved pasta water to the pot to help mix everything together.
- Optionally, add 2 tablespoons of mustard and 2 tablespoons of fresh dill for added flavor and mix well.
- Serve the salmon spaghetti warm, garnished with any extra lemon zest or fresh dill if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
Tips:
- Make sure to cook the pasta al dente so it retains some firmness and complements the texture of the salmon and vegetables.
- For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some extra fresh dill or a squeeze of lemon juice over the dish just before serving.
- Roast or grill the salmon instead of pan-frying it for a slightly different texture and a smoky flavor.
- Be mindful not to overcook the asparagus; it should be tender-crisp to add a pleasant crunch to the meal.
- To save time, you can prepare the cherry tomatoes and asparagus while the pasta is cooking.
This salmon spaghetti with mustard, dill & lemon recipe is not only tasty but also nutritious. It's a great way to enjoy a balanced meal featuring a flavorful mix of proteins, vegetables, and pasta. Serve it with a light salad or a piece of crusty bread for a complete dining experience.
