a simple salmon supper




Posted by Picasa
 this is a very easy supper to put together.  it's light, but still hearty and it has wonderful flavors.  you start by boiling some whole wheat pasta - for a serving of four use only 1/2 pound.  this is not a pasta dish, per se. wash a dry some baby spinach, put a big handful, about 2 cups per serving in a shallow bowl.  while the pasta is cooking, grill your salmon, just salt, pepper and a touch of olive oil.  toss the cooked pasta in a bowl with one clove of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper. toss in 3 tablespoons of capers, the zest and juice of one lemon, and a 1/4 cup of chopped basil.  toss to combine.  put pasta on top of spinach and finish with piece of grilled salmon. i love this meal.  when i feel like eating substantially (which is pretty much always), but don't want to have that over the top feeling, i make this. it has it all...healthy greens, high protein and good carbs! the original recipe can be found here
