Ingredients

  • 12 oz. Box of Farfalle Pasta
  • 1 Can Safe Catch Ahi in Avocado Oil
  • 3 Blue Circle Lemon Dill Salmon Sausages
  • 2⁄3 cup Diced Yellow Onion
  • 1 Tbsp and 3 Tbsp Butter or Ghee
  • Juice From 1⁄2 Lemon
  • 1 Tbsp Pressed or Minced Fresh Garlic
  • 1 1⁄2 cups Frozen Corn
  • 3 Tbsp Cajun Seasoning
  • 1⁄4 cup Fresh Dill, Chopped
  • Salt to Taste
  • Optional Garnishes:
    • More Dill
    • Chopped Fresh Tomatoes

Equipment

  • Garlic Press

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Place your salmon sausages on a parchment-paper-lined baking tray and bake for 12 minutes. Set them aside.
  3. While your sausages are cooking, start preparing the pasta. Follow the cooking instructions in your pasta book. Use a strainer to drain the pasta and let it sit in the strainer while you prepare the other ingredients.
  4. In the same pot you cooked your pasta, add the onion, 1 tablespoon of butter, and lemon juice. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent. Add garlic and mix.
  5. Reduce the heat, add 3 more tablespoons of butter, and return the pasta to the pot. Gently coat it with the melted butter and onions.
  6. Add Cajun seasoning, frozen corn, and dill, and combine everything evenly.
  7. Do not drain. Use a fork to flake the tuna into the liquids. Add it to the pasta pot and stir.
  8. Gently slice your salmon sausages into rounds and add them to the pot, gently combining them with the pasta. Remember to stir everything occasionally.
  9. Serve and garnish if you wish. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If your pasta is drier than you prefer or if leftovers become dry, consider adding more butter or ghee.
  • If the dish isn’t spicy enough for your taste, adjust by adding more Cajun seasoning to your desired preference.
  • While optional, chopped fresh tomatoes serve as a delightful garnish, imparting an extra touch of sweetness and flavor.
