Instructions

Get Roasting
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Place the garlic baguettes onto one side of a lined baking tray.
  • Lay the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the other side of the tray. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.

  • Meanwhile, add the creme fraiche, vegetable stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry) to a saucepan.
  • Heat on high and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat.
  • Stir in the fresh tagliatelle. Simmer, 5-6 mins.
  • Next, stir in the pesto, spinach and half the cheese, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.

  • Serve the pasta in bowls topped with the salmon. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese. 
  • Slice and serve the garlic bread alongside.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many loved the dish, praising its delicious taste and restaurant-quality flavours. Some found it a bit rich or bland.
  • Ease of prep: Customers appreciated how quick, easy, and straightforward the recipe was to prepare, with clear instructions.
  • Suggestions: Consider steaming the broccoli instead of roasting, and add more pesto for extra flavour. Try flaking the salmon and mixing it through the pasta.
  • Portions: Some found the meal very filling, while others felt the salmon portion was too small for a premium dish.
  • Texture: A few noted the pasta could be stodgy or claggy; consider adjusting the sauce consistency for a lighter result.
