Ingredients for Tomato Coconut Cream Pasta with Salmon
- 350 g pasta of your choice (I used fusilli pasta for this recipe)
- 2 salmon fillets
- 400 g fresh cherry tomatoes sliced in half
- 100 ml pasta water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 150 ml coconut cream
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1-2 tbsp ketchup
- salt and pepper for seasoning
- 1-2 tbsp oil
Cooking Instructions for making Tomato Coconut Cream Pasta with Salmon
In a pot or wok, boil the pasta with 1-2 tsp of salt for 2 minutes less than the package instructions recommend.
Pan-sear salmon fillets while cooking the pasta. In a frying pan, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper then pan-sear both sides until golden brown. Cut the salmon fillets into large chunks as you cook.
When the salmon fillets are 80% cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside.
Drain the pasta over a strainer. Reserve 100-150ml pasta water.
Using the same pot or wok, cook the pasta sauce. Heat some oil over medium-high heat. Transfer the cherry tomatoes, water, and sugar into the pot. Bring it to boil.
As the tomatoes begin to soften, add in tomato paste, ketchup, and coconut cream. Stir to combine.
Bring the heat down and simmer the sauce until it thickens.
Transfer the cooked pasta and salmon fillets to the sauce. Toss to combine.
