Instructions
Creamy Pasta
-
In a pan, bring water to a boil and cook pasta as directed on the package.
-
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the cream until it is at a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let cook until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season with parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.
-
Stir in crab meat and cherry tomatoes right before plating.
Pan-Seared Salmon
-
Season both sides of salmon with salt and pepper.
-
Heat oil in a 12 inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
-
Cook, skin side up, about 4-5 minutes.
-
Flip and reduce heat to medium. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the fish is cooked to your preference.
Greens
-
Clean and dry your salad mix.
-
Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
-
Drizzle over and toss gently with the salad greens.
To Plate
-
Divide the pasta between two dishes. Top each plate with a fillet of salmon. Then sprinkle salad greens over the top.
