Salmon and Lemon Pasta

"I try to keep things simple and easy on the weekends. With some salmon fillets in the freezer and pasta in the pantry I decided to make a light flavored dinner. My husband loved my take on Salmon and Lemon Pasta and I have to say so did I. It was a good change from a red sauce or heavy cream sauce. I had a pound of angel hair pasta so I just used that but you could use any long pasta you have on hand. The ingredient list is short and simple and so is the cooking process which is just how I like it! If you have an extra lemon you can squeeze it over the salmon. Also sprinkle with additional fresh parsely."

  1. Made this for my parents who are careful low-fat eaters. It was great! I used angel hair pasta and reserved some of the pasta water to make sure the final wasn't too dry. Thanks for posting.

  3. Delicious salmon and pasta. I especially loved the method for cooking salmon. The fish came out very flavorful and moist. Normally, I serve rice with fish but this pasta was a great addition. The pasta was delicious mixed in with the sauce. I used about 1/2 the amount of oil and about 3/4 pounds of pasta and it seemed to work out well. My daughter is not a huge fan of lemon, so she didn't care for the pasta but still loved the salmon. Thanks for posting! Made for Spring Pick A Chef.
