Creamy Lemon Salmon Pasta

This Creamy Lemony Salmon Pasta is so quick and easy, and perfect for when you have a little bit of this and a little bit of that in your fridge.

Quick pasta recipes are my go to, and when I post them on Instagram, everyone is always asking me for a recipe, and I rarely have one. Mostly because I am looking at our fridge and pantry, and trying to figure out a meal that’s simple, has some green, and uses up what I have.

For this recipe, I had the following:

  • 1 piece of seared salmon leftover from another meal
  • half a bag of wilted spinach
  • a little leftover evaporated milk
  • half a lemon that was almost dried out

And of course, I always have some sort of pasta in the pantry and some type of hard cheese tucked away in the fridge somewhere. And that’s how this creamy, dreamy, lemony salmon pasta came about!

    I don’t even LIKE salmon and I want to try this! Lemon and salmon are such good bed buddies, I’d be a fool not to. Thank you for sharing!
