This Salmon Gnocchi is ready in just 10 minutes and is a delicious combination of crispy gnocchi and pan fried salmon in a light and zesty lemon sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil in a frying pan and once hot, place 240 g Salmon fillet in the oil, skin side down. Cook for 6-7 minutes on a medium heat, turning once, until the salmon has cooked through.
Heat 2 tablespoon Butter in another large frying pan and once melted, add 250 g Gnocchi. Cook on a gentle heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges start to get crispy.
Add 100 g Spinach and gently cook for 2 minutes, until wilted.
Add 4 tablespoon Cream cheese, 20 g Parmesan and juice of 0.5 Lemon to the pan with the gnocchi and spinach and stir well until melted.
Flake the cooked salmon and stir into the gnocchi mixture and serve.
Notes
If adding other vegetables, make sure they are quick cooking softer vegetables.
Some shallots and garlic make a nice base for this dish.
You can use any cheese that melts well in this recipe.
Top it with some fresh herbs, extra cheese and a sprinkling of pine nuts.
Add some extra flavour to this by using smoked salmon instead of a salmon fillet.
