Simple Lemony Salmon Spaghetti. Serving Suggestions: Side: The rich salmon and the cream in this sauce means this creamy lemon salmon pasta is the perfect dish for serving with something fresh. We would suggest a parsley salad. Simply mix lettuce leaves with plenty of fresh flat leaf parsley and a simple lemon and olive oil dressing. Spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine, pappardelle or tube-type pastas. I went with rigatoni for this recipe.
If you want it even healthier, sub whole wheat pasta instead.
While the pasta cooks, season your salmon fillets with salt and pepper to taste and bake it until cooked.
Baking and cutting the salmon later will result in flakier salmon bits.

Simple Lemony Salmon Spaghetti step by step
- .
- .
- Cooked spaghetti (I prefer to use bucatini but did not have).
- Sauté fresh salmon in olive oil until no longer pink and then set aside. Sauté Garlic in the same pan used for sautéing the salmon by adding more olive oil. This is a crucial step as you would want the salmon flavor to be in the oil. Wait until garlic infuses well with the oil then add the cut red onions..
- Then progressively add the small leeks (cut into small circles), the green part of the scallions (also cut small). Then add olives. Wait until all these flavors blend together. Now time to add the broccoli. Give it another 5 minutes before you add mushrooms then cherry tomatoes. Now add black pepper corns, salt and mustard seeds..
- After adding all the spices, bring back the cooked salmon and add 1 squeezed lemon to the mixture. Give it few minutes to smell all the flavors together then start adding spaghetti. I try not to overwhelm it with spaghetti. Drizzle more olive oil to the mix. Aside sauté pine nuts in olive oil..
- Now for the Arugula, take another pan, drizzle olive oil, add arugula just for 1 minute maximum on a low heat add some pinch of salt, lemon and remove. You want to keep the arugula fresh but just blended with the lemon, salt and olive oil. This is the amazing part of the recipe. Do not mix Arugula with Spaghetti but just leave it to add on top of the spaghetti in the plate. Add the yummy pine nuts, flax seeds, chia seeds and you are good to go with a yummy fantastic taste. Bon Appetit 😋😋.
