Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 8 ounces Pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or penne)
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 1 cup (sliced into thin strips) Carrots
- 1 medium (sliced into thin strips) Red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup (grated, optional) Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grilling pan to medium-high heat.
Brush the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until crisp-tender.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of soy sauce over the vegetables and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
In the same skillet, add the cooked pasta and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss the pasta gently with the vegetables over low heat.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the pasta mixture and toss to distribute evenly.
Flake the grilled salmon into bite-sized pieces and gently fold it into the pasta and vegetable mixture.
Serve in bowls or plates. Optionally, garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for extra flavor.
