Dinner 30 Mins.

Ingredients

2

2 servings

  • 1 cup rotini pasta
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 cup chopped fresh figs
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 (5 ounce) salmon fillets
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add figs and saute in melted butter until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar, chicken stock, honey, and thyme; bring to a simmer. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Lower heat and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, season salmon with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon and sear both sides in the hot skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 7 minutes.
  • Divide pasta between two plates. Top with salmon fillets and pour equal amounts of reduction over each dish.
