Creamy Lemon & Dill Salmon Tagliatelle

With creamy lemon & dill salmon tagliatelle for baby

This is a real family favourite for little ones and the adults, dinner or lunch. It’s a very fresh and easy dish to prepare with a lovely lemony zest perfectly balanced with a creamy sauce. Babies from 6 months + can enjoy this dish as it is (see method).

Prep Time: 7 Mins | Cook Time 18 Mins

Serves 4

Ingredients

500 g Half salmon side
pepper
300 g Tagliatelle Pasta
A hand full of fresh dill chopped finely
3 tbsp Greek yoghurt
1 tsp cornflour
4 Spring onions washed and sliced diagonally
160g Sugar snap peas washed, topped and tailed
3 Cloves garlic minced
Juice of 1 lemon

METHOD

Preheat your grill on full.
Using a griddle pan, place the salmon fillet skin side down, season with a touch of pepper and cook on medium heat for approximately 6-8 minutes until the salmon is cooked and white at least halfway through.
While this cooks, blend the cornflour with a drop of cold water in a small cup. Pour the blended cornflour into a small bowl along with the yoghurt and whisk together (this prevents the yoghurt from separating once heated).
Boil water in a saucepan and cook the tagliatelle as per the packet instructions.
Once the salmon is cooked halfway through, place the griddle pan under the grill for a further 5-7 minutes until the top half is just cooked through. Remove and allow to rest for a few minutes while you prepare the veg.
Use a sauté pan and heat 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot add ⅔ of your spring onions, all of the sugar snaps and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until beginning to soften.
Drain the pasta and add to the sauté pan with the veg and lemon juice, pour over the yoghurt and blend all together.
If you are wishing to blend baby’s food serve their portion first. Spoon a tbsp of the creamy tagliatelle along with a piece of the salmon into the blender jug and blend on full for a few seconds. If the consistency is too thick, add 20ml water to the jug and re-blend, continuing this process until the desired consistency is achieved.
Flake the remaining salmon over the tagliatelle in a serving dish and garnish with the remaining spring onion. Serve to adults and children 6 months + alike. If you’re following a BLW approach with your baby, sugar snaps can be a choking hazard so ensure to remove the string that runs down the spine and only give these to the baby for exploration purposes. They are generally difficult for little ones to bite or chew so make sure you keep a close eye!
