Ingredients
-
8 ounces whole-wheat fettuccine
-
⅔ cup pesto
-
1 ¼ pounds wild salmon (see Tip), skinned and cut into 4 portions
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook until just tender, about 9 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with pesto.
-
Meanwhile, season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon and cook, turning once, until just opaque in the middle, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Serve the salmon with the pasta.
