Baked Salmon Pasta (Healthy, No Cream!)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil (for pasta).

Step 2

Meanwhile, add chopped broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic to a large baking dish. Toss veggies in 1 Tbsp of olive oil, and season with salt + pepper.

Step 3

Move veggies to the edges of the baking dish, making space for the salmon in the center. Place salmon fillet in the middle of the veggies.

Step 4

Brush salmon with another 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Squeeze lemon juice over top of salmon, and season with salt + pepper.

Step 5

Transfer baking dish to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, until salmon is cooked and veggies are lightly browned and tender.

Step 6

Meanwhile, add pasta to boiling water and cook for as long as indicated on package. Drain when finished, return to pot, and toss in another tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

Remove baking dish from oven. Using your spatula or a fork, flake the salmon into smaller pieces. Toss the flaked salmon and the veggies together.

Step 8

Add cooked pasta and chopped basil to the baking dish. Toss everything together again, seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. You may add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, if desired. Enjoy warm!
