Pan roasted salmon/lentil pasta, green pesto and roasted fennel. Great recipe for Pan roasted salmon/lentil pasta, green pesto and roasted fennel. As much I don't like to repeat, what I cook at home this is an exception. Red lentil pasta is one of my favourites. Caramelized fennel, warm chickpeas and arugula pair perfectly with salmon. Sweet roasted fennel, paired with a subtle bite of lemon and a salty pangrattao. To make Pan roasted salmon/lentil pasta, green pesto and roasted fennel you need 13 ingredients and 10 steps easily.

The ingredients needed to make Pan roasted salmon/lentil pasta, green pesto and roasted fennel:

  • 300 g of salmon fillet skin on

  • 170 g of red lentil pasta

  • 2 of fennel

  • 50 g of spinach

  • 20 g of pine nuts

  • 1 clove of garlic

  • 15 ml of olive oil

  • 20 g of parmesan

  • 2 tbsp of lemon

  • 1 pinch of salt

  • 1 pinch of black pepper

  • 1 tbsp of rapeseed oil

  • 1 pinch of ground nutmeg

Steps to make Pan roasted salmon/lentil pasta, green pesto and roasted fennel:

  • Prepare all of the ingredients. Using a knife scale the salmon. Cut the salmon into two 150 g fillets. Grade the parmesan finally. Prep the fennel by quartering it and cutting the core out (the hard and firm part of it). Wash the fennel, spinach and basil.
  • Place prepped fennel on the roasting tray in the pre heated oven at 180 °C. It should take about 20 min to roast it.
  • Using the kitchen towel dry off the salmon skin. Heat up the frying pan (with the metal handle) with a little bit of cooking oil. Pan needs to be smoking hot. Place the salmon on the pan skin down. Sprinkle the salmon with the salt. Sear the fish for about 30 – 40 sec on medium/high heat just from one side then place the pan into the oven keeping it 180 °C. It should take about 15 min to cook it.
  • In the meantime on the dry frying pan toast the pine nuts. Do it on low heat until golden/golden brown. Add chopped garlic to it toward the end and cook it for few seconds
  • Place the pine nuts, garlic, spinach, nutmeg, 1 tbsp lemon and olive oil into the food processor.
  • In a medium pot bring water to the boil. Add pinch of salt to it
  • It's all about timings now. Throw pasta into the boiling water when salmon is in the oven for about 10 min. It takes 6 min to cook the pasta.
  • When pasta is nearly ready(5 min after throwing into the water) using ladle take about 100 ml of pasta water and add it to the food processor. Blend it. Season it with salt and black pepper.
  • When pasta is ready drain the water off. Bring pasta back to the pot and mix it with the pesto sauce.
  • Serve

As much I don't like to repeat, what I cook at home this is an exception. Red lentil pasta is one of my favourites. Combined with red or green pesto is a winner. On top of that is gluten free and it's high in iron and fibr. Layer the chopped fennel, potatoes, carrots and halved lemons on a sheet pan and then top with the chicken thighs.
