Background

For a quick & easy lunch I highly recommend this delicious salmon & samphire pasta dish. It's also healthy, particularly if you use brown rice or other wholesome pasta. It's ready within 15 minutes and can be eaten warm or cold.

Ingredients

100g samphire
200g pasta (can be gluten-free)
2 salmon fillets
½ red chilli, finely chopped, or ½ tsp dried chilli flakes
1 clove of garlic, chopped
juice and zest of 1 lemon
olive oil

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packaging. Add the samphire to the cooking water a minute before draining it.
Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a frying pan. Season the fish and cook with skin side down for about 5 mins, then flip over and cook for another 3 minutes.
Add the chilli flakes and garlic for the last minute of cooking. Fleck the salmon away from the skin.
Toss the drained pasta & samphire with the fried salmon, chilli & garlic. Add the zest & juice of the lemon and season with salt & pepper.
Serve warm.
