Ingredients

1 Person

For the salmon:

  • 125 g
    salmon filet
  • 1 clove
    garlic
  • 1 tsp
    olive oil
  • 0.5
    fresh lemon

For the pasta:

    Protein Pasta
  • 0.5 small
    onion
  • 150 g
    asparagus, green
  • 1 tbsp
    olive oil

Preparation

  • 1

    Preheat the oven to 180° C.

  • 2

    Line an oven-safe dish with parchment paper and put the salmon onto it.

  • 3

    Cut the garlic into thin slices. Add these slices, plus the olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a few parsley leaves to the dish with the salmon. Lightly massage into the fish with your fingers.

  • 4

    Roast the salmon in the oven for 15 minutes.

  • 5

    Meanwhile, set a pot of water on the stove to boil.

  • 6

    Dice the onion. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. Then cut them into 2-cm-long pieces.

  • 7

    Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until they are translucent. Add the asparagus and saute for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • 8

    When the water boils, add salt and put in the pasta. Cook them for 7 minutes or until al dente. When you drain the pasta, set aside some of the pasta water. Add the pasta to the asparagus in the pan.

  • 9

    Put a splash of pasta water into the pan and heat everything up briefly, while stirring constantly.

  • 10

    Take the salmon out of the oven. Flake with a fork and gently fold into the pasta.
