Ingredients
- 300 g rye maccheroni
- 200 g quinoa
- 300 g fresh salmon fillet
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- Lemon, juice and zest
- 4 tbsp lemon olive oil from Nicolas Vahé

- 50 g Parmesan cheese
- Pepper and salt (Everyday Mix from Nicolas Vahé)

Preparation
- Cook the quinoa according to the instructions on the package. Set aside.
- Prepare the maccheroni al dente in plenty of salted water. Drain and toss with 2 tbsp lemon olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Sauté shallot and garlic in a large pan with the remaining olive oil until translucent.
- Cut the salmon into pieces and briefly add to the pan, cooking just enough to keep the salmon juicy.
- Add lemon zest and juice, along with the quinoa and pasta. Gently mix and season with Nicolas Vahé’s Everyday Mix and a little extra lemon juice if desired.
- Spread everything in an ovenproof dish, sprinkle with Parmesan, and briefly gratinate under the grill until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
- Garnish generously with fresh dill and serve immediately.
