Salmon is a great source of good fats and is enhanced here with coating of a creamy mustard & dill sauce.

What Can Be Served With It?

Wholewheat Pasta – This recipe suggests using wholewheat pasta. This can either be mixed in at the end or kept separate from the creamy sauce.

Mashed PotatoCreamy and mashed potato give a real comfort food feeling to the dish.

Green Salad – If you’re trying to reduce your carbs then opt for a green salad. Spinach leaves are a simple accompaniment, which will complement the dish, but allow the creamy sauce to shine.

Broccoli – Another low carb addition would be broccoli. The slightly earthy taste of the broccoli goes well with the creamy sauce and will add a bit more crunch to the meal.

How Could I Make This Quicker?

If you have previously cooked some salmon or/and pasta earlier in the week then you only need to worry about cooking the sauce, which should only take about 10 minutes to cook.

You can also buy pre-cooked salmon in the supermarket, although try to get plain salmon as you don’t want to confuse the flavours.

Pre-cooked salmon and pasta will keep for about 3 days in the fridge.
