Salmon Pasta with Parsley Sauce Recipe

 

Ingredients

  • 450g/1 lb salmon fillets, skinned

  • 225g/8 oz pasta, such as penne

  • 175g/6 oz cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 150ml/1/4 pint low-fat crème fraiche

  • 45ml/3 tbsp finely chopped parsley

  • finely grated rind of 1/2 orange

  • salt and ground black pepper

Serves 4

Method:

  1. Cut the salmon into bite-size pieces, arrange on a heatproof plate and cover with foil.

  2. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta and return to the boil. Place the plate of salmon on top and simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the pasta and salmon are cooked.

  3. Drain the pasta and toss with the tomatoes and salmon. Mix together the crème fraiche, parsley, orange rind and pepper to taste, then toss into salmon and pasta and serve hot pr leave to cool to room temperature.

Notes: The grated orange rind in the sauce complements the salmon beautifully in this recipe. For an alternative, try trout fillets and substitute grated lemon rind.
