Lemon Salmon Pasta
- ½ box of whole wheat pasta (I used penne)
- 1 large salmon fillet, grilled (or baked)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 4-5 tablespoon of butter
- ½ cup pasta water, chicken broth, or white wine
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3-4 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 1-16 ounces container sliced mushrooms
- Grated Parmesan for garnish
- Grill or bake salmon. (I marinate mine in orange juice for 30 minutes to give it some flavor.)
- Saute garlic and mushrooms in olive oil.
- Boil pasta according to package directions while this is cooking.
- Save ½ cup starchy pasta water to thicken sauce.
- Turn to medium low and melt butter, then add zest, juice, and water/broth/wine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Drain pasta and add to mushroom mixture.
- Add spinach and once it is wilted, add salmon and toss.
- Garnish with Parmesan cheese.
