Dinner-In-A-Flash Salmon Pasta
This dish uses all pantry + freezer staples – and is ready in 10 minutes.
First we took a can of salmon (I buy Costco’s wild Alaskan kind) and heated it in the microwave with a cup or so of frozen peas and a handful of frozen spinach, capers (2 tbsp?), dill and kosher salt. NOTE: We thawed and drained the spinach/peas in a collander first!
Meanwhile we cooked some whole wheat pasta (Trader Joe’s) and softened Laughing Cow cheese wedges in our bowls.
And tossed it all together along with a topping of parmesan and red pepper flakes.

Great question!! I forgot to say we thawed and drained it well before microwaving with the salmon mixture. I’ll go edit the page now! Thanks for the question.

This dish looks amazing. You always come up with such creative, good recipes!
Just made this tonight!! mmm…so good, I’m going to write a post about it on my blog femininedarcy.wordpress.com
This looks so good, but I was wondering if there would be another way to prepare the salmon and veggies without using the microwave. (We don’t have one). Also, my kids don’t like Laughing Cow cheese. Any suggestions for a possible substitute? Cream cheese?
Heating on the stovetop would work just fine too. Over medium heat.
I’d use any soft cheese for the laughing cow sub – or a hard cheese, melted with a little bit of milk
Thanks, Kath! I will try it this week. I can’t wait!
Yummy!! I had frozen salmon, so I steamed it then flaked it to use in this recipe. I try to eat healthy when I can so this is a great meal for me! Thanks so much!!
can u serve it cold, like just the salmon and the spinach without being cooked?
Yep!
