Salmon Pasta With Spicy Tomato Sauce Recipes

CREAMY TOMATO SALMON PASTA

Steps:

• Put the pasta on first - place a large pan of water on to boil.
• When the water comes to the boil, add the pasta and simmer for 12-13 minutes, until cooked.
• Meanwhile, heat the 2 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat.
• Season the salmon fillets with the 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper. Place in the pan skin-side-up.
• Fry the salmon for 3 minutes, until golden, then turn the salmon over and move it to one side of the pan.
• Add the onions to the space left in the pan. Cook on a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
• Stir in the minced garlic and cook for a further 30 seconds.
• Add in the passata, the 1 tbsp of tomato puree, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, and the 1 tsp of sugar. Stir together and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
• By now the pasta should be nearly ready. Add the spiralized courgette (zucchini) to the pan with the pasta for the last 30 seconds of cooking. Then drain the pasta in a colander, reserving a cup of the cooking water.
• Turn the salmon over in the frying pan. Remove the skin using a set of tongs and discard.
• Break up the salmon using the back of a fork into chunky pieces. Stir the 3 tbsp of cream into the sauce.
• Add the cooked spaghetti and spiralized courgette to the pan along with a good splash (about 1/4 cup) of the pasta cooking water.
• Use a set of tongs to toss the spaghetti in the sauce, distributing the pieces of salmon amongst the pasta.
• Add more of the pasta cooking water if you want to loosen up the sauce further (optional).
• Divide the pasta between bowls and top with a little grated parmesan, black pepper and a sprinkling of fresh basil leaves.

SALMON PASTA WITH SPICY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook pasta in boiling water according to the package directions. Drain, reserving pasta water. Toss pasta with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Keep it warm.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions. Cook and stir until softened. Add red pepper flakes, oregano, and salmon. Break up the salmon with a spatula as it cooks. Stir in dill, chopped tomatoes, and wine; bring to a boil. Turn heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add some reserved pasta water if the sauce gets dry.
• Mound the pasta on plates. Make a well in the center of each mound and ladle in the tomato-salmon sauce. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.

SPICY SALMON FILLETS IN A TOMATO GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• In an ovenproof frying pan, saute onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent and tender.
• Add red bell pepper, chopped tomatoes and cilantro, and continue sauteeing until everything is tender.
• In the meantime, in a small bowl, add the canned diced tomatoes, paprikas, cumin, salt, pepper, and water. Mix well.
• Add half this mixture to the pan, and cook for a few minutes more.
• Sprinkle the salmon with a tbsp or so of the hot paprika/cayenne, and rub it in the salmon.
• Add the salmon, skin side down, and cook for about 10min, until salmon looks cooked through about half the thickness.
• On top of the salmon, add the rest of the tomato-spice mixture (now nearly all the salmon should be in sauce), and continue to cook the salmon for a few minutes more - total around 10minutes.
• Pour lemon juice over the salmon, cover the pan with a lid, and cook till salmon is ready, about 5min.
• Remove cover and place pan in oven, and broil for around 7 minutes.
• Enjoy! (Don't forget to have a cup of ice water near).
