Salmon with Pasta

HEALTHY HEART SALMON WITH PASTA AND AVOCADO

from the kitchen of The Good Food Angel from www.your-healthy-eating-helper.com

This recipe is one of my favourite healthy fish recipes. It is full of lovely omega oils, which are so good for us, and the avocado helps keep our cholesterol in check. What's more, it is simple to make! If you have any leftover fish from the Sunday roast, or barbeque, this is a great way to use it up.

Salmon with Pasta

Chopped roast, grilled, or poached salmon leftovers (or substitute any oily fish, such as mackerel, tuna, or swordfish. If you have no leftovers, you can use smoked salmon.

Fettuccini (or linguini) pasta

Cubed, ripe avocado

Cubed tomatoes

Chopped parsley (or any other fresh herb you fancy)

Coarse ground black pepper

Freshly squeezed lemon juice

Dressing:

1/3 white wine vinegar

1/3 canola (rape seed) oil

1/3 olive oil

(you can also throw in a little flax seed or Udo's oil, if you are looking for ways to incorporate these healthy oils into your diet.

METHOD

Cook the pasta al dente (not overcooked). Mix in all the other ingredients and the dressing, while the pasta is still warm. That way it will absorb all the lovely flavours.Voila! A healthy heart meal! This dish is delicious either hot or cold. Great for a light lunch. Bring it to work in a tub. Or, make it up the night before and store it in the fridge for the next day's dinner, if you are going to be busy.

VARIATION: Another way I love to prepare this simple, healthy meal is with asparagus, when it is in season. Use the asparagus instead of the avocado and tomato. Asparagus goes particularly well with salmon. To cook it, just throw the tips into the pasta saucepan, about five minutes before the pasta is cooked.

Blessings on your table!
