- Breadcrumbs, 3-4 tbsp
- Lime, 1
- Butter, 2 tbsp
- Green onion, 1/2 stalk

Recipe 🍳
- Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes, pat dry with paper towels, and season with salt.
- Melt butter in a pan. Grill one half of the lime until golden brown. In another part of the pan, sauté minced garlic and breadcrumbs together to create a fragrant and crispy garlic crumble. Set aside.
- Using the same pan, add olive oil and lightly sear the seasoned salmon cubes, focusing on the exterior. Remove the salmon when it's about 30% cooked through (still slightly translucent in the center) to finish cooking with residual heat.
- In the same pan, sauté crushed whole garlic cloves and sliced green onion to release their aroma. Add capers and chili flakes and sauté briefly.
- Add the pasta, water, and consommé cube to the pan. Cook over high heat until the pasta absorbs the rich broth and the liquid is reduced.
- Once the pasta is cooked, pour in the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half. Add fresh spinach, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the pasta in a bowl. Grate fresh lime zest over the garlic crumble and sprinkle generously over the pasta.
- Top with the pre-grilled tender salmon steak and grilled lime. Garnish with fresh dill, if desired.
- Cut salmon into bite-sized pieces and season. Sauté minced garlic and breadcrumbs in butter to make crispy crumble.
- Lightly sear salmon on the outside and finish cooking with residual heat.
- Sauté garlic, green onion, and capers in a pan, then add pasta, water, and consommé cube and cook.
- Add heavy cream and reduce, add spinach, then top with crumble, salmon, and lime.
Cooking tips 💡
- Salmon can become dry if overcooked. Remove from heat when the center is still slightly pink; residual heat will cook it through to a tender and moist finish.
- Caution: Adding lime juice directly to the simmering sauce can cause the cream to curdle. Always squeeze lime juice just before serving.
