Recipe for salmon with spaghetti in tahini sauce
Here you have a wonderful and simple everyday dish, that tastes absolutely fantastic! But it is simple and quick to make on busy days. On the plate is spaghetti in tahini sauce with salmon, zucchini, caramelized onions, and parsley… ?
Tahini is a creamy sauce, or seasoning if you will, made from sesame seeds and salt. The roasted, nutty flavor can be used as a flavor enhancer in a multitude of dishes. Here, I mixed my tahini with garlic, lemon juice, and a bit of parmesan and tossed my pasta in it – it gives a super creamy and flavorful pasta dish. On top, I’ve added caramelized onions, fresh parsley, sautéed zucchini, and sautéed salmon.
The sweet, caramelized onions complement the slightly bitter parsley and the salmon wonderfully, and together with butter-sautéed zucchini, it gives a delightful mix of wonderful flavors that come together beautifully ?
Ingredients
- 200 gram Spaghetti whole grain
- 28.4 gram Butter liquid
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 pcs. Squash
- 1 pcs. Onion
- Broad leaf parsley 1 bunch
- 48 gram Tahini
- 30 gram Lemon Juice
- 10 gram Parmesan finely grated
- 2 pcs. Salmon Fillet
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to the instructions in lightly salted water. Finely chop the garlic, coarsely chop the onion, and slice the zucchini into thin slices. Heat up a pan, add butter, and brown half of the garlic along with the onions. Add the zucchini slices and let them cook over medium heat. Turn the zucchini a couple of times during cooking. Meanwhile, mix tahini with lemon juice, parmesan, and the remaining garlic. If the consistency is thick, add a little water until the tahini has a mayonnaise-like consistency. Push the onions and zucchini aside in the pan, season the salmon with salt and pepper, and cook them in the pan, a couple of minutes on each side, until they are just pink inside. Drain the spaghetti and toss it with tahini and chopped parsley. Season with salt, pepper, and possibly extra lemon juice. Arrange everything on a plate: spaghetti at the bottom, then zucchini and salmon. Sprinkle with a little parsley and parmesan, serve! ☺️
