Ingredients

1. 3/4pound spaghetti (whole-wheat is a good option)
2. 1pound skinless salmon fillet
3. kosher salt and black pepper
4. 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (healthier alternative – 2 T butter and 2 T olive oil)
5. 2 leeks, sliced
6. chives, chopped

Directions

1. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions.
2. Meanwhile, season salmon with ¾ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Cook in 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until opaque throughout, 4 to 6 minutes per side; remove and flake. Add the leeks to the skillet and cook until tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
3. Toss the spaghetti with the salmon, leeks, remaining butter, and chives.
