  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces Capellini (Angel Hair) Pasta
  • 2 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes julienned
  • 1/2 cup Baby Spinach loosely packed
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cup Dry White Wine (or Chicken Broth)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 4 ounces Fresh Salmon Fillet cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley chopped, to garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the capellini according to the package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until hot and shimmering.
  3. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant. Then, stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, cooking for 2 minutes until the spinach has wilted.
  4. Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and let it simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Add the heavy cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Season the cubed salmon with salt and pepper and gently nestle them into the sauce. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until the salmon is just opaque.
  7. Toss the drained capellini into the skillet, ensuring it's coated well. If the sauce appears too thick, gradually stir in the reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency.
  8. Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  9. Plate the dish among warm plates, garnishing with chopped parsley and a twist of black pepper.
  10. Serve immediately.
