Description

This refreshing pasta salad is a delightful choice for a warm summer evening gathering or any occasion where you want to share a flavorful meal. The base of the salad features delicate noodles that closely mimic the texture of traditional pasta. These unique noodles, crafted from a special flour, allow you to enjoy this pasta salad alongside your main course with complete satisfaction.

Flaky roasted salmon, prepared to a buttery perfection, offers a rich source of protein and healthy fats, beautifully complementing the other elements of the dish. Bursting with sweetness, juicy grape tomatoes add a vibrant pop of color and flavor, while creamy feta cheese provides a tangy counterpoint, creating a harmonious blend of tastes and textures. Aromatic fresh basil leaves, finely chopped and scattered throughout the salad, contribute a refreshing herbal note that elevates the overall experience.

Feel free to customize this salad with your favorite additions, incorporating other ingredients that suit your personal preferences and dietary needs. This pasta salad can be served family-style, encouraging everyone to help themselves, or portioned into individual containers for convenient meal preparation throughout the week. When selecting the noodles for this recipe, look for the elbow pasta shapes, which are typically found chilled.

Should you only find long strands of these noodles, simply chop them into smaller pieces before cooking. To personalize your salad, consider seasoning the salmon with your preferred blend of spices, adding depth and complexity to its flavor. Fresh herbs such as oregano, tarragon, dill, or thyme can also be incorporated, enhancing the aromatic profile of the dish.

For an extra touch of flavor, use a high-quality olive oil, or experiment with oils infused with citrus, garlic, or other herbs, creating a truly exceptional taste sensation.

Instructions

    1.
    Pat a whole fillet of salmon dry with a paper towel. Then, rub the olive oil into the flesh. Season the fish with lemon pepper, black pepper, onion powder, dried basil, and dried oregano. If your lemon pepper does not have salt, please include a pinch of salt when seasoning the salmon. You may let the salmon marinate in your refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or you may continue on directly to Step 2.
    2.
    Preheat an oven to 375 degrees and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Place the fish on the tray and roast it for 20 minutes in the oven. After 20 minutes, melt the butter in a small dish in your microwave. Remove the fish from the oven and brush half the butter over the fillet. Return the fish to the oven to roast for another 20 minutes. Brush the remaining butter over the fish again and roast in your oven for a final 15 minutes, resulting in a total of 55 minutes of cooking time.
    3.
    While the fish is in the oven, you can start preparing the pasta salad. Bring a pot of water to a boil while you drain your shirataki noodles and rinse them. Once the water is boiling, pour in the noodles and cook them for only 2-3 minutes. Drain the noodles and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add chopped grape tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh basil to the bowl.
    4.
    When the salmon is done roasting, allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes. Use a fork to flake the fish into many small pieces. It is up to you to determine how flaky or chunky you want the pieces to be. Add the flaked salmon to your pasta salad bowl. Add your remaining salt, oil, vinegar, and lemon juice to the mixing bowl. Fold all the ingredients together until you have a completed pasta salad. You may serve immediately while the salmon is warm, or you may chill and marinate the pasta salad for 1 hour before serving.
