Ingredients
-
24 ounces (2 bags) shirataki or Palmini noodles
-
nonstick cooking spray
-
24 ounces salmon fillets (2- 12 oz work best)
-
Stacey Hawkins Dash of Desperation Seasoning
-
8 Tablespoons Light Cream Cheese broken into small chunks
-
¼- ⅓ C low sodium chicken broth
-
1 T Stacey Hawkins Citrus Dill Seasoning
Directions
Open the bags of noodles and rinse well, shaking loose any excess water. Place in a microwave safe bowl and set aside.
Season salmon filets with Dash of Desperation Seasoning.
Spray a nonstick pan large enough to hold both filets with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium high heat. When pan is hot, place salmon, skin side down in the pan and let cook for 3-4 minutes until skin is crispy.
Using a spatula, flip the fish over and let cook for just one minute more. Remove the fish from the pan and set aside to rest. If your filets are on the thicker side, this may require a minute or two more depending on your preferred doneness level.
Place the pan back over medium heat and add the cream cheese. Gently allow it to melt, swirling around the pan with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle with the Citrus Dill seasoning. Slowly add the broth to the cream cheese, whisking to mix the two together.
Bring the sauce to a boil and add the noodles into the pan. Mix the sauce and noodles together to heat the noodles. Remove from the heat.
Cut the fish into chunks and add to the mixture, covering it with sauce. (Additionally, if you prefer, plate the pasta first and serve the salmon sliced or chunked over the noodles- it’s up to you!)
Serve hot with a side salad or some Tender Char Grilled Zucchini and enjoy!
