- 64 g Spaghetti
- 260 g Salmon fillet
- 350 g Spinach
- 15 ml Garlic-infused olive oil
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 bunch Dill (optional)
- 1 Lemon (optional)
- ½ tsp Black pepper (optional)
Method
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Salt it.
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Chop the dill.
- Cook the spaghetti one minute shy of al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, warm the garlic-infused oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon skin-down 4 minutes, flip, and cook 2 minutes more until just cooked through. Lift out and flake into large pieces.
- Add the spinach to the same pan and toss until just wilted, about 1 minute.
- Reserve a mugful of pasta water, then drain.
- Tip the pasta into the pan with the flaked salmon, dill, and a splash of pasta water. Toss gently off heat until glossy, keeping the salmon in large flakes.
- Finish with a squeeze of lemon.
