with Crispy Broccoli
We're thinking pink today. Salmon pink. Not only is this fish delicious, it's packed to the gills with fatty acids which may protect the heart and blood vessels from disease and protective of brain function for maintaining good memory. So dinner can be good for the head and the heart - and the taste buds of course. Enjoy!

Put a large saucepan of water with a good pinch of **salt** on to boil for the **pasta**. Halve, peel and chop the **shallot** into roughly ½cm pieces. Cut the **broccoli** into florets. Slice each floret into four. Roughly chop the **chives**. Peel and grate the **garlic** (or use a garlic press). Halve the **red chilli** lengthways, deseed and finely chop. Remove the skin from the **salmon** and put the flesh in a bowl. Use two forks to pull it apart into large flakes.
Add the **spaghetti** to your pan of boiling water and cook until 'al dente', 11 mins. ***TIP:*** ‘Al dente’ simply means the pasta is cooked through but has a tiny bit of firmness left in the middle. Once done, drain in a colander and return to the pan (off the heat). Toss with a little **olive oil** to stop it sticking together.
Whilst your **pasta** cooks, put a frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of **oil**. Once hot, add the **broccoli**, a good pinch of **salt** and a grind of **black pepper**. Cook until slightly brown and crispy, 7-8 mins, then remove from the pan.
Add another drizzle of **oil** to the pan (no need to wash it!) and turn the heat down to medium. Add the **shallot** and cook until slightly softened, 4 mins. Then add the **garlic** and **chilli** and cook for 1 minute more. ***TIP:*** Some like it hot, but it’s fine if you’re not one of them – just add less chilli!
Add the **vegetable stock pot** to the pan along with the **water** (amount specified in the ingredient list). Bring to the boil, making sure the **stock pot** has dissolved. Simmer for 2 mins, then stir in the **crème fraîche**. Add a good pinch of **salt** and a grind of **black pepper** and bring to the boil again. Lower the heat and simmer for another 2 mins.
Squeeze in **lemon juice** according to taste, then add the **salmon, broccoli** and **chives** to the pan. Stir gently and take off the heat. Combine with the **spaghetti** and serve in bowls. **Enjoy!**
