Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- 1 serving fusilli pasta
- 1 can canned salmon
- 5-6 pickles
- 3 cloves peeled garlic
- 1/4 onion
- Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt (for pasta water)
Recipe 🍳
- Add 2 teaspoons of seasoned salt to boiling water, add fusilli pasta, and cook until tender through to the core.
- Finely chop or mince the pickles, slice the garlic, and thinly julienne or chop the onion.
- Heat olive oil in a pan, add garlic and onion, and sauté until fragrant and wilted.
- When the onion turns translucent, add chopped pickles and stir-fry so the sourness and sweetness meld into the oil.
- Add the canned salmon (including liquid) and lightly break it up while stir-frying.
- Add the cooked fusilli to the pan and toss well so the sauce coats every ridge, then finish and serve.
- Boil fusilli in seasoned salted water and drain.
- In olive oil, sauté garlic and onion, then add chopped pickles and canned salmon and stir-fry.
- Add cooked fusilli and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
Cooking tips 💡
- The sweet-and-sour taste of pickles balances the overall seasoning; if you like sourness, you can increase the amount of pickles.
- If you don't have canned salmon, regular canned tuna or leftover smoked salmon torn into pieces works great as well.
- We recommend short pasta like fusilli or penne, which hold the sauce well in their ridges.
