Salmon Pasta with Veges

Salmon Pasta with Veges

Remember my last Salmon Pasta with dill and kale? Well, this recipe is not much different from that one. This time around, i skipped the dill and added more veges instead.

The salmon i chosed is the part that most does not like when it is baked. The tummy part. It is where the most fatty part of the fish. So instead of going into waste, i decided to use it for pasta. The result is, it coated the pasta with a nice glazed and less oil needed. It gives the pasta a whole new level of flavor! 

Im using 400g of Salmon and with this recipe, it can feed 4 adults!

Ingredient:

400g Salmon stomach part ( skin on)

1 big red onion (chopped)

3 cloves garlic (crushed)

Champignon (as much you like. Mine is a good full bowl of it) 

French Beans ( as much you like. Mine is also a full bowl of it)

Half Zuccini (sliced)

Half Leek (slicled)

Penne Rigate Pasta

Salt and pepper to taste

1 Lemon (juice)

Sugar to taste(optional)

Clean and pat dry with paper towel.
Sprinkle some salt and black pepper (only on the top part)

Add a little oil and heat the frying pan.

Once it is hot, place the salmon. Reduce the temperature on your stove to medium. Start with the skin side until it is slightly cook.

Turn it over. Fry for another few minutes until medium cook through.

While waiting for the salmon to be done, prepare the onion, leek and garlic.

Then, place the salmon on to a clean plate.

Using the same pan, and still on medium heat, add onion, leek and garlic.

Sauteed until they are soft and aromatic!

Leek will be withered and onion will be caramelized.

At the meantime, prepare the veges.

Im using a big champignon. Cleaned and sliced into thick size. 

If you do not like mushroom, you can skip it. Replace it with any mushroom or any veges of your choice. 

Sliced zucchini in same thickness.

Rinsed cut french beans into bite sizes.

You may want to start boiling water for the pasta.

Add mushroom and zuchinni and sauteed until it is partially cook then set aside.

Cook pasta.

Shred the salmon into rough sizes like in the picture below.

Discard the skin

Drain the cooked pasta.
Keep some of the water from the pasta into a bowl. You may need to add some moist for the next step.

With the same pot you used to boil the pasta. 

Add the pasta and the rest of the ingredients in and stir them well.

You may need to add some of the water from the pasta that you keep aside in (only if necessary. Just to avoid the pasta become dry.)

Set the pot aside once the pasta is well coated with the salmon and the rest of the ingredients.

P/S: Avoid overcook the french beans. It is best eaten when it is still slightly crunchy.
