Instructions

Skin the salmon fillet and chop the broccoli into smaller florets.
Add to a large baking dish along with the cream cheese. In a small bowl combine the dill, italian seasoning, garlic powder and chilli flakes and give them a mix and then pour over the salmon, broccoli and cream cheese. Drizzle over olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and bake at 200°C (390°F) for 20 minutes.
Boil the pasta in salted water for 12 minutes.
Remove the dish from the oven, break up the salmon with a spachula and mix with the broccoli and cream cheese.
Drain the pasta, add directly to the baking dish along with the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Stir and it’s ready to serve.

Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.

Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.

To Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for e-r days. Reheat in a pot/pan over a low heat until piping hot or in the microwave. You may need to add some water to loosen the sauce.

To Freeze: I wouldn’t recommend freezing this recipe.

Tip 1: If you prefer, you could also make this in a large pan on the stove rather than in the oven. Everything that would originally cook in the oven, you'll cook in the frying pan. Cook the pasta in a pot to the side and then combine everything into the frying pan. It would also be delicious with some grilled salmon!

Tip 2: I love making my sauce from scratch, but if you want to save a little time, you can use a jar of alfredo sauce.

Tip 3: The cook time for the pasta will depend on the type of pasta you use. Because the pasta won't be cooked more after the end of the pasta cooking time, you want it to be fully cooked rather than al dente.
