"A winner for my family! My husband and I both love pesto and salmon and we love that all the veggies add health benefits so it feels like a clean meal. We use Banza pasta noodles too!"
Pesto Pasta: – pasta noodles – avocado oil – yellow onion
Mix the avocado oil, garlic cloves, paprika, onion powder, salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Transfer the chopped salmon to a sealable container or a zip lock bag and add the marinade.
Seal the bag and toss everything around until the salmon is coated in marinade. Marinate for 20 minutes, or up to 12 hours. While the salmon is marinating, prepare the pasta.
Follow the instructions on your package of pasta noodles to cook the noodles. Reserve ¼ cup of the pasta water. Strain the cooked noodles into a colander.
While the pasta is cooking, sauté the vegetables. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chopped onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add in the chopped broccoli with ¼ cup of water to steam the veggies and stir well. Cook until broccoli has softened, but is still al dente. Add chopped spinach and frozen peas and stir well.
