I had been reading the benefits of adding more fish and seafood to our diet and wanted to try more salmon. My son and husband were convinced they would not like salmon, but I assured them I could find a recipe they would enjoy. I found a salmon pasta salad recipe and adapted it to suit our tastes, using veggies we enjoyed and packages of Gorton’s Simply Baked Roasted Garlic and Butter Salmon. The result was a recipe that was not only good, it was a #wickedgoodseafood recipe. I used gluten free pasta so my daughter, who has celiac disease, could have it too. Usually I can tell gluten free pasta from a mile away because it doesn’t taste as good as regular, but used in this recipe I couldn’t tell the difference. Feel free to add or change veggies to suit your taste. I think mushrooms or cucumbers might be good additions too.
- 1 package (8 ounces) spiral or bow tie pasta, cooked and drained (can also use gluten free)
- 2 packages Gorton grilled salmon, in flavor of your choice, cooked as directed on package
- 1-1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1-1/2 teaspoons dill weed or 1/4 cup fresh dill, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1/2 cup Asiago or Parmesan cheese, shredded
- Cook salmon as directed on package. Break into small pieces. Mix the salmon with the cucumber, onion, olives and cheese. Stir until blended. Add this mixture to the pasta. Meanwhile mix oil, lemon juice, dill, garlic, salt and pepper together. Shake until blended. Pour over pasta and stir. Serve immediately or place in fridge to chill.
This looks really good.
I love the simply bake products and this looks awesome!
I love Gorton’s products. They are always fresh, easy to prepare, and taste great. I’m sure they really added a great flavor to this pasta salad dish.
My husband loves to eat Salmon and would love this recipe!
ive never tried this but it really looks good
This recipe looks so good, but I can’t stand the taste or smell of fish or any other seafood.
I don’t eat seafood, but that looks really good!
This is great, we are having stuffed salmon tonight too. yummy . Never had gortons fish though not yet
My son is really into eat fish lately, so I’ll have to try this!
My family would love this! We are doing meal ideas For the week I will have to try this. I’m so bored with our dinners again
And it gives me an excuse to try the simply bake 🙂
I’ve never been brave enough to try a salmon salad but then again you make everything look so yummy, so it isn’t hard to want to try this one out!
Hmm. Great for small and big parties!
That looks yummy. A perfect healthy (and filling) family dinner. Thank you for sharing x
MMMM! We love salmon. In fact, my fiance and I were just talking about salmon a few minutes ago, LOL! Your recipe sounds delicious, I LOVE olives!
Oh now THAT’S a great idea! I need to try this recipe, I think we’d all love that. I’m actually making Gorton’s tomorrow… but haven’t decided what exactly to make just yet. I might have to try this one!
I love salmon, very nice recipe. I prepare salmon similar to your recipe, I only add peppers of different colours to cheer up a little.
I just ate – lol.
but looking at this.. makes me want to eat again! Lol!
I loved Salmon, I loved seafood! I’m glad you posted this because I bought a pack of spiral pasta and now I have the idea of how to prepare it.
I’ve been unsure about trying frozen salmon instead of fresh but now that I’ve read a good review I’ll grab it next time it’s on sale. The pasta looks great!
Salmon is one of my favorites! I don’t eat pasta on keto but I do eat a lot of salmon because it has a high Omega 3 fatty acid profile. Glad your family liked it!
I love this recipe! I have a stash of dried dill that I grew in my garden, so I love when I come across recipes that I can use it in.
I love Salmon and pasta so you can’t go wrong. This looks delish!
My kids love their fish sticks. I’ve never had this one and I love that it already comes pre-seasoned. I’m a big fish lover having grew up in the Caribbean and in NY where I can go the fish market and hand pick my fish.Will have to keep an eye out for this one.
I love salmon. My dh does not. I like to make salmon patties but it is great in a pasta salad like this as well.
MY DIL makes salmon for special dinners, including holidays. It’s an all-time favorite of their family.
I love Salmon, especially grilling it with lemon and garlic, yum
YUMYUM! Mouthwatering recipe,
I love Patsa , it would be a win win to add salmon in it!
Mmmm… love Salmon! Salmon pasta, even better! Will have to try this recipe soon. Thanks for sharing!
