Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. While the pasta is cooking, season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper on both sides.

  3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and flake it into bite-sized pieces using a fork. Set aside.

  4. In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

  6. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

  7. Add the flaked salmon back to the skillet, along with the cooked spaghetti. Toss everything together gently.

  8. Squeeze the lemon juice over the pasta and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

  9. Serve the Easy Healthy Salmon Pasta hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
