Keep dinner light, fresh and fast tonight with this easy 10-minute Salmon Piccata with Spinach. To eliminate nearly all prep work, I’m relying on a handful of easy ingredients like Barilla Ready Pasta, Stancatto Piccata Sauce, Gourmet Gardens Italian Herbs and Two Brothers Baked Salmon. You really can’t beat this healthy, flavorful weeknight-friendly pasta, which is on the table in 10 minutes or less!
To show you how simple this is, here’s a quick recipe run-down (full recipe below): Heat the pre-cooked pasta, jarred piccata sauce and pimentos in a skillet. Stir in a couple handfuls of baby spinach and continue to cook until the spinach wilts slightly. Then, gently fold in fresh, chopped herbs and a fillet of baked salmon (I like to flake this into bite-size pieces first). Finish with more herbs to taste and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
This recipe serves 2 but can easily be doubled.
