Ingredients

50g salmon fillet
150ml unsalted vegetable or chicken stock
40g baby pasta shells
Knob of unsalted butter
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 tsp plain flour
100ml milk
50g broccoli, roughly chopped
3 tbsp creme fraiche
3 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp fresh dill, chopped
1/2 tsp fresh chives, chopped

Method

  1. To cook the salmon, either poach the fish in a little of the stock over a low heat for 3-4 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork, or cook in a microwave with a couple of tablespoons of stock for about 2 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Drain.
  3. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onion and saute for 3-4 minutes until just soft. Add the flour and mix together, then blend in the remaining stock and milk. Bring to the boil. Add the broccoli and simmer, covered, for 5-6 minutes until soft
  4. Whiz in a food processor until smooth. Stir in the creme fraiche, Parmesan, lemon juice, herbs and cooked salmon. Simmer for 2 minutes. Serve the drained pasta with the sauce.
