Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 400g wholemeal spaghetti
  • 300g salmon fillets
  • 1.5 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 80ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup shaved parmesan cheese

Method

Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of water.

Poach the eggs and set aside.

Thinly slice the fresh salmon and place salmon and spinach into a large bowl.

Once the pasta is cooked lift it out of the water into the bowl stirring carefully. Add a little of the pasta water to bring it all together. The heat from the pasta and water will cook the salmon and spinach.

Combine oil, lemon zest and juice, drizzle over the pasta, season with pepper.

Place on to plates and top with the poached egg and some parmesan shavings.
