Picture yourself lounging under a blue and white beach umbrella, gazing out to the Mediterranean Sea, as you feast on this light delight - a new take on the old classic. Enjoy the fresh medley of crisp green beans, plump olives and capers, topped with flaked salmon over seashell pasta.
250 g
conchiglie pasta
(Contains: Gluten, Wheat;)
100 g
green beans
1 fillet
salmon
(Contains: Fish; May be present: Crustaceans, Mollusc.)
⅓ cup
capers & olives
½ punnet
cherry tomatoes
¼
lemon
1 bunch
parsley
1 tbs
olive oil
To prepare the ingredients, trim the green beans and halve the cherry tomatoes. Check the olives for pits, juice the lemon, and pick the parsley leaves.
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the conchiglie pasta and cook for 8 minutes or until “al dente”. Add the green beans in the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain well.
Meanwhile, heat a greased frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
Return the same frying pan to a medium heat. Add the olive oil, capers & olives, cherry tomatoes and a squeeze of lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and heat gently for about 1 minute or until heated through.
Stir the warm cherry tomato mixture and parsley through the pasta and beans. Flake the salmon with a fork and fold through the pasta. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide your salmon niçoise pasta between plates and dig in with a glass of white wine, if you like.
