Ingredients
1/2 pound whole-wheat spaghetti pasta
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (4-ounce) pieces salmon
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons capers
1 lemon, zested
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil
over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until
tender but still firm to the bite, stirring
occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain
pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Add the
garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and
pepper. Toss to combine.
Meanwhile, warm the olive oil in a medium
skillet over medium-high heat. Season the
salmon with salt and pepper. Add the fish to
the pan and cook until medium-rare, about 2
minutes per side, depending on the thickness of
the fish. Remove the salmon from the pan.
Add the basil, capers, lemon zest, and lemon
juice to the spaghetti mixture and toss to
combine. Set out 4 serving plates or shallow
bowls. Place 1/2 cup spinach in each bowl. Top
with 1/4 of the pasta. Top each mound of pasta
with a piece of salmon. Serve immediately.
