Philli' & Chilli Salmon Pasta
Serves 2
Ingredients:
2 x salmon darnes (appox. 240g)
80g Philadelphia or cream cheese
120ml low fat milk
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
squeeze of lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon of chilli flakes (add gradually to your liking)
Pasta of your choice.
Parsley to garnish (optional)
Method:
1. Place the salmon darnes in tin foil and season well with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon
juice. If it's a special occasion you can also include a knob of butter. I also like to crumble
half a fish stock cube over the salmon but this is optional. Wrap the salmon in tin foil,
creating a 'pouch'. Place on a tray and bake for 12 mins at 190°C. Remove the salmon from
the oven open the tin foil and put back into over cooking for a further 3-4 mins uncovered.
2. In the meantime cook the pasta of your choice in a saucepan. In terms of measuring how
much pasta to cook, as a rule of thumb for pasta shapes, I take a cereal bowl and fill it ⅔
with uncooked pasta. This amount of pasta is just enough for one person when cooked.
3. In a separate pan fry off the onions and garlic (both finely chopped). Gradually add the chilli
flakes to the pan along with another splash of lemon juice.
4. When the salmon is cooked, remove from the oven. Remove the skin from the salmon. Then
drain the pasta and add the Philadelphia, skimmed milk and onion and garlic. Finally add
the salmon darnes flaking them gently with a fork. Using a wooden spoon to mix the
ingredients together until they are well combined and the sauce is well distributed through
the pasta
5. Garnish with greenery of your choice!
I had the remains of this for my lunch in work today. I warmed it up in the microwave for 30seconds and it was absolutely delicious. I think I was actually nicer than first time round. The flavours seemed to have intensified over night! This one will definitely be a regular in my lunch box!
