Lemon Parmesan Angel Hair with Salmon & Arugula Bliss: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces angel hair pasta
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups fresh arugula
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions. Once al dente, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
  2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and reserved pasta water. Stir to combine and let it simmer for a minute.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the lemon sauce. Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the pasta.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh arugula until just wilted.
  7. Divide the pasta among plates, placing a salmon fillet on top of each serving.
  8. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
