A delicious Pan Fried Salmon with Creamy Lemon Sauce recipe that’s on the table in under 20 minutes
My Pan Fried Salmon is flaked into tender pieces and served with spaghetti and zoodles/courgetti in a light lemon cream sauce. Mixing the spaghetti with zoodles is a great compromise for those carb lovers who want to cut down a little without feeling like they’re missing out!
Pasta with salmon really is a match made in heaven isn’t it.
I love a good pasta recipe, but cooking it with cream and cheese can make the dish feel quite heavy.
This version is a made a little lighter with the addition of spiralized courgette (zucchini), little chunks of sugar snap peas and a good sprinkling of lemon zest.
Free printable recipe is available on our site:
Ingredients:
▢250 g (8.8 oz) dried spaghetti
▢1 tbsp olive oil
▢⅛ tsp salt
▢⅛ tsp black pepper
▢3 boneless salmon fillets
▢1 small onion - peeled and chopped
▢2 cloves garlic - peeled and minced
▢2 tbsp white wine - optional
▢5 tbsp double (heavy) cream
▢zest of 1 lemon
▢85 g (1 cup) sugar snap peas (snow peas) - roughly chopped
▢1 small courgette (zucchini) - spiralized or cut into thin strips
▢Juice of half a lemon
To Serve:
▢2-4 tbsp shaved parmesan
▢pinch Black pepper
▢Lemon zest
▢Lemon Wedges
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling water and simmer for 10-13 minutes - until cooked to your liking. Note - you’ll be adding the sugar snap peas and courgette to the spaghetti for the last minute of cooking.
2. Whilst the spaghetti is cooking, heat the oil in a large frying pan, over a medium-high heat.
3. Sprinkle the salt and pepper on the flesh of the salmon fillets and place in the frying pan, skin-side-down. Cook for 3 minutes, until the skin is crispy.
4. Turn the salmon over and add the chopped onions to the pan. Cook the salmon and onions for a further 3 minutes, until the onions start to soften.
5. Take the salmon out of the pan and place on a chopping board.
6. Add the garlic to the onions and cook for a minute whilst stirring. Add the wine and let it bubble for a minute, then add in the cream and turn the heat down to medium.
7. Whilst the cream is heating through, remove the skin from the salmon, and break the salmon into rough chunks (don’t worry if it’s not quite cooked at this point as it’s going back in the pan).
8. Add the salmon back into the pan along with the the lemon zest.
9. By now the spaghetti should be almost ready. Add the sugar snap peas and spiralized courgette in with the spaghetti for the last minute of cooking.
10. Drain the pasta, reserving about half a cup of the cooking water.
11. Add the spaghetti, sugar snaps and courgette to the frying pan and toss through along with the lemon juice and a couple of splashes of the reserved pasta water.
12. Divide between four bowls and top with grated parmesan, freshly ground black pepper and a little bit of lemon zest. Serve with lemon wedges.
✎ NOTES
Want it more saucy?
If you want the pasta dish to be a little more saucy, add in a more of the reserved pasta water and an extra tbsp of cream.
Can I make it gluten free?
Yes, simply swap the spaghetti for gluten free spaghetti
Can I swap out the salmon for chicken?
Yes, replace the salmon fillets with boneless, skinless chicken fillets, but pan fry them for 5-8 minutes longer, so they’re cooked all the way through before you slice/shred the chicken. You can also replace with other fish, such as haddock or cod, although I think salmon tastes best. Trout would work well, and prawn would too. If you’re using prawns, just add them in with the softened onions for the last few minutes of cooking, rather than pan frying them first.
Want to remove the pasta to make it even lighter?
Replace more (or all) of the spaghetti with more courgetti (zoodles). Removing the spaghetti entirely and replacing with 2 extra spiralized courgettes (zucchinis) will save approx 215 calories per portion!
