Indulgent Orange Chilli Salmon Pasta Salad!

Top Snotch Salmon Salad madness! At the end of a long hard week of work I like a tasty, indulgent but quick and easy pasta dish.

What better to set off the taste buds than to boost it up with some spicy orange finger chillis? Mmm mmmm.

Let's get stuck in!!

You will need

Half a bag of wholewheat penne pasta
3 salmon fillets
1 big ole red bell pepper
3 cloves of garlic
1 large shallot or 1 small onion
A big handful of black olives
2 heaped tablespoons of capers
A big green handful of spinach leaves
A big glug of olive oil (about 2 tbsps)
2 lovely thin orange chillis
2 tbsps of lemon juice

There you have it!

To make

Get your pasta on the boil. Penne usually takes about 12-14 minutes

Now finely chop your garlic and shallot and throw into a big mixing bowl. Add your capers and sliced olives. Then finally your chillis, oil and lemon juice.

Let this mix infuse away then lightly season your salmon fillets and put them on over a medium heat in a tiny bit of oil

When your salmon is almost cooked, roughly chop your bell pepper and throw that in for a brief fry with them

After a minute take your Salmon and peppers of the heat. Yummity.

Your pasta should be ready shortly after this. When it is, drain it and add to the pan with the salmon and pepper

Give it a rough stir like you were in a boat fighting off a shark with an oar to break up the salmon fillets into chunks.

Now add this feast to your big mixing bowl

Give it a stir and toss in your spinach and stir again

Then serve! Hot flippity jings! Spicy, garlicky, lemony heaven with a cheeky sour touch from the capers!!

I can't stop eating!!!
