  • Simple Truth Organic® Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms, 8 oz 8 oz $3.99 (reg)
  • Organic Green Chard 1 small bunch (or 4–5 oz leaves), chopped $2.99 (reg)
  • Garlic 2 cloves, minced $0.69 (reg)
  • Pompeii® Lemon Juice 1 1/2 tbsp $2.50 (sale)
  • Olive oil (pantry) 1 1/2 tbsp
  • Butter (pantry) 1 1/2 tbsp
  • Dry pasta (pantry) 6 oz (penne or linguine)
  • Parmesan (pantry) 2–3 tbsp, grated (optional)
  • Salt & black pepper (pantry) to taste
  • Reserved pasta water 3/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Cook 6 oz pasta in salted water until al dente; reserve 3/4 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. Meanwhile, pat salmon dry. Season with pepper and a light pinch of salt. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high and sear salmon 2–3 minutes per side until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and flake into large pieces.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Sauté mushrooms 6–8 minutes until browned. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  4. Add chopped chard with a splash of pasta water; cook 2–3 minutes until wilted.
  5. Add pasta, remaining 1/2 tbsp butter, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup pasta water. Toss until glossy; add more pasta water as needed.
  6. Fold in flaked salmon gently. Finish with Parmesan if using, and adjust lemon/salt/pepper to taste.

Cook time: 35 minutes

Estimated cost: ~$18–26

Health notes: Omega-3 rich. To reduce richness, use half the butter/cheese and lean more on lemon + pasta water for sauce.

Drink pairing: Unoaked Chardonnay, Pinot Noir (light-bodied), or sparkling brut.
