Nutrition

• Salmon fillet
  2 fillets
• Wholemeal pasta
  250 g
• Spring onion
  5 onions
• Broccoli
  400 g
• Pea
  100 g
• Soft cheese
  150 g
• Skimmed milk
  150 ml
• Lemon zest
  1 lemon
• Parsley
  2 tablespoons
• Black pepper
  1 pinch
• Hard cheese
  4 teaspoons

Instructions

1. 1

   Set a large saucepan of water on the hob to boil and preheat the grill to medium-high. Arrange the salmon fillets on the grill rack and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Turn off the grill and leave the salmon to rest.

2. 2

   While the salmon is grilling, cook the pasta shapes in the boiling water for 8 minutes, then add the spring onions and broccoli and cook for a further 3 or 4 minutes.

3. 3

   Put the peas in a large colander. Once the pasta, broccoli and spring onions are cooked, drain them into the colander over the peas – make sure to reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooking water in the pan.

4. 4

   Put the soft cheese and skimmed milk into the hot saucepan with the reserved cooking water. Stir over a medium heat until smooth. Then add the lemon zest and parsley (or chives).

5. 5

   Return the pasta and vegetables to the saucepan with the sauce and heat gently for a couple of minutes, until warmed through.

6. 6

   Carefully break the salmon into chunks and add to the pan – stir gently to avoid the salmon breaking up too much. Season everything with pepper, then serve each portion with 1 teaspoon of grated cheese on top.
