Salmon Cream Spaghetti

Easy but delicious

Ingredients

Salmon fillet

Spaghetti

Double cream
Thyme
Dill

Broccoli/asparagus

Method

Boil a big pan of water with plenty of salt and oil. Add the spaghetti. High-grade spaghetti will take about 9 minutes for al dente.

Scale and season the salmon fillet - you want a heavy seasoning of salt and pepper. Fry it, skin side down, in butter.

Steam the broccoli (ideally miniature florets) or cook the asparagus in some boiling water and butter.

Turn over the salmon fillet. Transfer to a warmed plate after about 2 minutes (depends on thickness of fillet).

If the salmon pan is clean, add the cream (if not, use a new pan), dill and thyme. Add a heap more pepper and some salt. Drain the spaghetti and add to the lightly simmering cream mixture.

Layer the salmon fillet on top of the spaghetti, and line with broccoli.

The pink salmon and bright greens offset the pale pasta perfectly. An unctuous creamy dish.
