Equipment

  • 1 pot
  • 1 pan

Ingredients

  • 1 box pasta gluten free, if needed
  • 3 filets salmon
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 sweet onion
  • 1 can tomatoes I like using fire-roasted!
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk full-fat
  • dash salt

Instructions

  • Gather your ingredients.
  • Cook pasta according to instructions on box.
  • While pasta is cooking, season the salmon filets with salt and pepper and sauté in a pan over medium heat. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the salmon filets from the pan and place aside. Brown the garlic and onion in the pan over medium heat.
  • Add in canned tomatoes and tomato paste and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add in coconut milk and combine.
  • Stir in pasta.
  • Add salmon on top. Feel free to either serve with filets on top or flake the salmon and combine it with pasta. Both ways are delicious!

Notes

NOTE: Be sure not to overcook the salmon or it will get tough!
