225 g asparagus spears
5 spray low-fat cooking spray or MCT Oil
3 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried chili flakes
50 ml water, hot
1 pinch salt
110 g dried pasta, any type, (uncooked fettuccine)
170 g fresh salmon, fillet
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Snap off woody ends of asparagus, cut each stalk cross-wise diagonally into 2.5cm (1 inch) pieces.
In a large frying pan heat cooking spray or MCT Oil over medium high heat. Add garlic and red
pepper flakes, sauté for 1 minute. Add asparagus and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in hot water and 1⁄4
teaspoon salt, cover pan and cook asparagus for 2 minutes or until almost tender. Uncover and cook
for 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Meanwhile place salmon in microwave-safe bowl
and sprinkle with lemon juice and pinch salt. Microwave 2 to 3 minutes or until fish is just cooked
through. Separate fillet into bite sized chunks and mix gently with cooking juices in bowl.
Drain pasta and mix with asparagus in pan, add salmon with juices, toss gently and serve.
