This pasta can be made with leftover fish but the recipe is totally worthy of cooking with fresh fish as well. It’s healthy and “adult-tasting” meaning it would probably be enjoyed more by adults because it doesn’t contain any baby/toddler favorites like butternut squash, sweet potatoes, etc. I’m lucky that my Soren loves stuff like that so if you kiddos are adventurous as well, feel free to offer it to them (BLW appropriate from 7-8 months).
We used quinoa pasta because we like it and because it’s a healthier alternative to regular wheat pasta.
INGREDIENTS:
3 large rainbow chard leaves
A piece of salmon (really as large or small as you like)
1 garlic clove
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
Olive oil
Optional: 3 tbsp white wine
METHOD:
1. Cook your pasta.
2. Meanwhile, heat 3-4 tbsp of olive oil in a pan. Chop up the chard (cut three times lengthwise and then across), place in a pan. Stir frequently for 2 minutes on medium heat. Add 2 tbsp of water and close the lid. Let the chard steam for 5 minutes.
3. Add minced garlic and cilantro, sauté for 1 minute. Add wine (if using for adults). Add the cooked salmon (pulled apart into pieces). I used a small piece of leftover salmon and I think it’s the best way to create a dish out of it. Stir everything, season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the pasta.
