Salmon

Vegetables

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Ingredients

    Start by preparing all the ingredients. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Chop the garlic cloves finely. Clean the wild mushrooms and slice them. Wash and trim the baby carrots. Rinse the spinach and set it aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the linguine fini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.

  2. 3

    Roast the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the baby carrots and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are slightly tender. Add the wild mushrooms and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes. Finally, add the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

  3. 4

    Pan-Roast the Salmon

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Add the garlic and salmon to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.

  4. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the lemon juice and stir to combine. Keep warm.

  5. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Toss the drained linguine with the reserved pasta water and half of the Parmesan cheese until well combined. Plate the pasta, top with the roasted vegetables, and place the salmon fillet on top. Drizzle with the lemon butter sauce and chimichurri. Finish with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
