Spread the love

Ingredients for 3 servings:

  • 2 stalk(s) leeks
  • 1 pack of prawns, frozen
  • 2 cloves garlic, fresh
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper, preferably freshly ground
  • 500 g penne or tagliatelle pasta)
  • 1 pack of salmon, frozen

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

The salmon and prawns must first be thawed and dried. First, cut the washed leek into 5-7 cm long pieces, then cut these pieces lengthwise into thin wedges (4-6 mm wide). Heat the olive oil in a large pan (preferably deep and with a lid). Fry the salmon and prawns over medium-high heat until almost cooked. Then season with salt and pepper on both sides and cut the salmon into smaller pieces. Place the leek on top of the fish, but do not mix it with the fish. Press the garlic over the leek using a garlic press. Cover and wait about 5 minutes. Then season the leek with salt and pepper and stir it into the fish. Wait another 2-3 minutes, and it should be done. The pasta can be cooked at the same time. When the pasta is ready (and the pan is large enough), add it to the fish and leek. Alternatively, you can arrange the pasta together on the plate as desired. But then you should add a few drops of olive oil to the pasta after cooking, otherwise it will become too dry and sticky.
