CLOSEGlen Fuels Salmon and Pasta Bowl
Glen Fuels Fresh Salmon and Pasta Bowl
Fresh Salmon
One of the top health benefits of eating salmon, either raw or cooked, is that it is high in omega-3 fatty acids which improves brain function and decreased risk of cardiovascular problems.
The Glen Fuels Salmon and Pasta Bowl is a quick and simple recipe contains carbohydrates, fiber, fat and protein. It can be prepared with just a five ingredients, a couple of pots and in the tiniest of kitchens without compromising on flavour.
Salmon, Courgette and Penne
For two people:
- 200g penne (Rummo and Barilla brands)
- 1 salmon fillet
- 2 medium courgettes thinly sliced (optional: cut out the seeds)
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, peeled (leave it whole - do not chop)
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 2 tsp olive oil
- Salt and Pepper
1. In a pot sautee spring onion on low heat for 5 minutes in 1 tsp of olive oil (lid on the pot).
2. Increase heat to medium and add sliced courgette. Allow to turn golden. Stir frequently for 3 - 5 minutes.
3. Season with a nice pinch of salt. Turn off the heat and leave to cool (uncovered).
4. Pat the salmon dry and cut into 1cm cubes.
5. In a seperate pot, heat 1 tsp olive oil and move the garlic clove through the oil for 1 minute.
6. Remove the garlic and add the salmon.
7. On high heat cook the salmon so that it turns golden brown (do not burn). Add in the white wine and cook to evaporate. Add salt and pepper to taste. When the wine has evaporated (dried out), turn off the heat.
8. Cook the pasta. Bring a pot of water to the boil. Add a generous amount of salt. The water will now boil hard. Add the penne and give a quick stir to seperate. Cook according to the instructions on the packet.
9. While the pasta cooks, heat up the courgette sauce to dry out any liquid that may have formed during the cool-down period. When dried out, add in the salmon.
10. Take a cup of the starchy pasta water and keep to one side. Then strain the pasta. Add the pasta to the salmon and courgette and mix together. If it's too dry, stir in a small amount of pasta water (over a medium heat).

Growing up in the Kilmore Quay area, I developed a love of boats and trawlers from a very young age. Upon joining Glen Fuels, I approached Alan Keyes with the idea of establishing a marine fuels department - they say that if you do something you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
Combining my knowledge and passion with the Glen Fuels fleet, logistical expertise and unrivalled customer service levels; Glen Fuels is now the leading distributor of fuel to the marine sector throughout Wexford. As Glen Fuels opened new depots in key locations, we began working with more fishermen and skippers in Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Wicklow and Dublin.
Drawing on the established and trusted relationships between Glen Fuels and other independent drivers/depots, Bunkering by Glen Fuels organises delivery of marine fuel oils to 33 river and sea ports throughout the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Europe.

CLOSETrust Your Gut
If it looks dangerous. If it sounds dangerous. If it feels dangerous. It is dangerous.
Trust Your Gut
Every single one of us has an in-built sense of danger. If we open our eyes, we can spot danger. If we listen, we can hear danger. If we tap into how our body responds in a certain situation, we can sense danger - shivering, hairs standing on end, a feeling of unease in the gut.
Too often we discount what we hear, see and feel as being "not real". This often lands us in situations where we find ourselves saying, "My gut told me not to. Why did I make such a bad decision?"
Trust yourself.
Trust your innate intuition. If it looks dangerous. If it sounds dangerous. If it feels dangerous. It is dangerous.
