Ingredients:
Serves 2 (but likely to have leftover pasta) | 1 hour prep and cook time | Approx 566 calories
2 salmon fillets
1 cup of pasta of your choice (I am using gluten free macaroni which reduces calories)
Basil
1 red onion
3 garlic cloves
3 tsbp tomato paste
1 tomato
Mixed dried herbs
3 vegetable stock cubes - 1 and 1/2 cups of stock
Small cream (to thicken)
Sprinkle of parmesan
Instructions:
Step 1: Chop the ingredients
Cut the onion finely
Crush or finely chop the garlic cloves
Finely chop the fresh tomato
Boil the kettle and mix the stock cubes
Step 2: Fry the ingredients
On a medium heat fry the onion for a couple of minutes, add the garlic and herbs.
After a few minutes add the tomato paste and mix,
Add the fresh tomatoes, after a few minutes;
Add the stock and stir, let the mixture boil and then turn down to medium - low to let it simmer (this will take about 20-30 mins to reduce)
Step 3: Get the pasta on
Step 4: Thicken the sauce
Add some cream (start with 1/4 cup, turn the heat up to gently boiling and leave to reduce for 5 minutes), keep it on longer if it needs more, if you need to add more liquid you can add a few spoons of pasta water
Step 5: Cook your salmon
You can air fry, oven or bake (will take approx 10 mins)
Step 6: Drain the pasta & serve
Mix the pasta into the sauce, add some pasta water if which will help thicken.
Serve, add your salmon fillets on top, garnish with the basil, parmesan, salt and pepper
Serve with a side salad
