TIPS FOR LEMON DILL SALMON PASTA

  • Use High-Quality Salmon: Wild-caught salmon provides a richer taste and higher omega-3 content.
  • Don’t Overcook The Pasta: Al dente pasta absorbs flavours better and maintains a satisfying texture.
  • Enhance The Sauce: A drizzle of olive oil or a spoonful of Greek yoghurt can add extra creaminess to the dish.
  • Balance The Flavours: Adjust the lemon juice and dill according to preference, adding a little at a time.
  • Make It Zestier: Add lemon zest along with the juice for a stronger citrus aroma.

VARIATIONS

  • Creamy Twist: Mix in a tablespoon of light cream or ricotta for a richer texture.
  • Add Greens: Toss in baby spinach, arugula or steamed asparagus for extra nutrition.
  • Spicy Kick: Sprinkle red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Low-Carb Option: Swap linguine for zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.
  • Extra Protein: Add a handful of cooked shrimp for a seafood medley.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. When reheating, add a splash of water or olive oil to maintain moisture.
  • Freezing: Not recommended due to the delicate texture of fresh salmon and dill.
  • Meal Prep: Cook the pasta and salmon separately, then combine when ready to serve for the freshest taste.
