Creamy Salmon Pasta

At this time of year my body craves something other than large meals with potatoes!

Come January I tend to cook a lot of pasta, rice and couscous dishes.

I enjoy lighter meals after all of the Christmas indulgence.

Yesterday I had 4 salmon fillets to use plus some tomatoes, leeks and cream which was at it's use by date.

So I got my thinking cap on, and this is what I got...

 

Creamy Salmon Pasta

 

Ingredients

 

4 salmon fillets, skinned and sliced

2 leeks, chopped

200g cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

250mls double cream

300g pasta

Juice of 1 lemon

Parsley

Chives

Black pepper

Salt

 

Method

 

1 - Cook the pasta as per instructions

 

2 - In a little olive oil and half of the lemon juice fry the leeks and salmon

 

3 - Once the leeks are soft add the tomatoes to the pan and continue to cook until the salmon is cooked through

 

4 - Add the cream, parsley, chives, black pepper and a sprinkle of sea salt. The herbs can be added to taste. I also added the other half of the lemon but again this is to taste

 

5 - Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the creamy salmon

 

6 - Cook for a couple of minutes and serve

 

This is really easy and quick meal to make and was a welcomed change to the big heavy meals that we have been having.
