Recipe: Salmon Spinach Fettuccini with Creamy Feta & Garlic Sauce

As you already know by now, I’m a fan of quick and easy recipes, especially when you have a house full of hungry boys constantly asking, “Is dinner ready yet?” When I’m short on time, I head to Sprouts Farmers Market to browse the selection of fresh seasoned salmon. Lately I’ve been a fan of the lemon garlic salmon.

Because this salmon is already seasoned, I can cook it in minutes as soon as I get home. I usually pair it with a serving of veggies, but this time I decided to include it in this delicious Salmon Spinach Fettuccini with Creamy Feta & Garlic Sauce.
