Ingredients
- 400 g pasta
- 1 teaspoon salt (for pasta water)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 300 g Salmon fillet
- 20 g butter
- ½ teaspoon flaked chilli (pul biber)
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 300 g baby spinach
- 240 ml double cream
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon wild garlic pesto (or regular pesto)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 60 g parmesan (freshly grated)
- 2 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1-2 cups pasta cooking water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200° C (400 °F).
- Place the salmon fillets in an ovenproof dish, lightly cover them with olive oil and sprinkle on some salt.
- Bake the salmon fillets for 10 minutes, remove them from the oven, and flake them using a fork and knife.
- Put some water in a large pot with plenty of salt for the pasta on high heat and bring it to a boil while the salmon is cooking.
- Start making the sauce when the fish is flaked and the water starts boiling.
- Place a wok or a large pan on medium heat and melt some butter.
- Stir in the pesto and cook for a few minutes.
- Add the spinach in batches and cook it stirring, for a couple of minutes until wilted and then add the salt, chili, and freshly ground pepper.
- Stir in the double cream, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, and let it boil for a minute before adding the half-cooked pasta to the sauce. The pasta should be cooked for around 7-8 minutes.
- Add two cups of pasta water, cover with a lid and let the pasta cook for another 5 minutes, or until it is cooked to your taste.
- To finish the pasta, add the cooked salmon, parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley, give them a good stir and serve immediately when still warm.

Notes
- Cook your pasta in plenty of salted boiling water for the best results.
- Don't add any oil to pasta water as it prevents the sauce from sticking to the pasta and also delays boiling the pasta water.
- The salmon fillets shouldn't be totally cooked as they will cook more when added to pasta.
- If using fresh salmon and spinach for your pasta dish, you can keep the leftovers refrigerated for up to two days in an airtight container.
- If you want to keep the pasta longer, you can keep them in the freezer for up to two months.
