Citrus Salmon over Spinach
- 4 cups Fresh, Raw Spinach, Divided
- 2 cups Cooked And Salted Fettuccini Pasta
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 piece Salmon Fillet
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Pepper
- 1/4 cups Citrus Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Undrained Capers
- Spinach:
- Divide the fresh spinach into plates or bowls as a thick bed for the remaining ingrediants.
- Pasta:
- Prepare pasta according to box instructions.
- I prefer leaving it on the firm side for this recipe especially.
- Its important to salt the water well, so that your pasta comes out without needing additional seasoning.
- Salmon:
- Start by drizzling the oil into a heated skillet.
- Add your salmon fillets.
- Liberally cover the top of the salmon with the lemon pepper.
- Add half of the citrus juice while cooking, just to allow the fish to absorb some of the flavor.
- Once the salmon is cooked and caramelized with a nice sear on the outside, remove the fish from the pan and add a bit more oil, the rest of the juice, and the capers to de-glaze the pan.
- Heat and reduce some.
- Putting it all together:
- Layer the hot pasta over the bed of spinach, place the salmon on top and drizzle the remaining juice/de-glazed bits from the pan over the pasta and fish.
- It drips down through the pasta and the spinach and tastes amazing all together.
