Serves one –
Prep & Cooking time: approximately 15 minutes
Ingredient list:
- 2 ounces of dry No Yolks egg noodles
- 1 Gorton’s Salmon fillet patty
- 1 clove of garlic diced
- 1 roma tomato diced
- 1 ounce of Greek feta cheese
- ½ cup of white button style mushrooms
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach
- Walnut oil
- Cracked peppercorns and Italian spices to taste
Heat water for the egg noodles; when it comes to a boil, throw in the egg noodles and the salmon fillet. Cook until tender.
In a skillet, pour a small amount of walnut oil in the bottom and add in the spinach, garlic, and roma tomato. Instead of adding more calories with additional oil, add small amounts of water. When the egg noodles are close to being done, crumble the feta cheese on top of the mixture so it begins to melt.
Drain water from the noodles and remove the salmon patty; using a fork, cut the fillet into small pieces. Pour the cooked noodles and the spinach mixture over the top and lightly toss.
