Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 lb whole wheat spaghetti
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
salmon
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaf
3 tablespoons capers
1 lemon, zest of
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Add the garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Meanwhile, warm the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the fish to the pan and cook until medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. Remove the salmon from the pan.
  • Add the basil, capers, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the spaghetti mixture and toss to combine. Set out 4 serving plates or shallow bowls. Place 1/2 cup spinach in each bowl. Top with 1/4 of the pasta. Top each mound of pasta with a piece of salmon. Serve immediately.
