Nutritional values

The easiest way to a healthier heart, fit vessels and powerful grey cells is through omega-3 fatty acids. Specifically, these are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are abundant in salmon. Although the meat of the sea creature is very rich in fat, it is indispensable for our body. So every fat calorie is worth it!

Classic go well with the salmon with cream sauce tagliatelle. If you can't get a wholemeal tagliatelle, you can also go for wholemeal ribbon noodles or penne. For that extra spicy kick, you can serve the dish with wafer-thin Parmesan shavings.

Preparation steps

1.

Rinse broccoli  and divide into florets. Rinse and pat dry salmon fillets, season with salt and pepper. Cut salmon into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with lemon juice. Blanch broccoli florets in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes. Drain well.

2.

Heat butter gently in a pan and add cream, simmer for about 1-2 minutes on low heat. Season with salt and nutmeg. 

3.

Cook pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well, collecting about 1/2 cup of cooking water. Heat a little butter in a pan and cook salmon cubes, covered, for about 1-2 minutes. Add lemon zest and sauce to the pan and let stand briefly.

4.

Add pasta to the pan and toss gently. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking water to the pan. Add broccoli and mix gently. Arrange pasta on plates and sprinkle with freshly shaved Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately.
