If you have always been "iffy" about chives, this is probably a good recipe to try it out or give this wonderful herb another chance. :) Simple enough for a weekday night dinner yet elegant enough for a weekend date night at home. A well-balanced meal with a good dose of carbs, protein and vegetables!
Ingredients for noodles (dinner for 1):
2. Zest from 1 lemon
3. 1 handful of chives, chopped
4. ¼ cup organic vegetable stock
5. 1 handful of cooked fettucine
Ingredients for salmon:
1. 1 piece 3 ounce salmon fillet
2. Salt and pepper
3. Dried sweet basil
4. Water
Method:
1. In a pot, bring to boil a pot of water to cook the pasta.
2. In the meantime, prepare the salmon for baking.
3. Pre-heat oven to 350F (191.5C).
4. Place skinned salmon fillet on a piece of aluminium foil. Season with salt, pepper and dried sweet basil on both sides of the fillet.
5. Wrap salmon in foil, seal and bake in oven for 10-15 mins depending on the thickness of your fillet.
6. While salmon is baking and pasta is cooking, in another pot, bring to boil vegetable stock.
7. When vegetable stock comes to a boil, turn off heat and add chopped chives and lemon slices and lemon zest.
8. The fettucine should be done right about now. Add fettucine into vegetable stock and toss.
9. Dish fettucine out onto a serving plate.
10. Remove salmon from the oven and serve over fettucine.
NOTE:
Feel free to switch-up fettucine with your favourite noodles. It could another type of pasta or even chinese egg noodles.
