Instructions
- First, to make spaetzle batter, combine flour, eggs, water, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of black pepper and 1 tsp of herbes de provence into a lump free batter.
- Start a generous amount of well-salted water boiling in a pot large enough to support a colander above the water.
- In batches, pour the batter into the colander and press through the holes into the water with a spatula.
- When the pasta floats, it's done, set aside and toss with oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare a griddle or cast iron pan over medium heat. Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Oil pan and place salmon on skin side down. Cook until opaque around edges then carefully flip.
- Continue cooking until it reaches 145°F internal. Remove salmon from the pan and set aside to rest.
- Wipe pan, add oil to coat bottom.
- Add shallots, green onion whites and peppers, cook for a few minutes until the shallot is translucent.
- Add garlic and cook thirty seconds to a minute more. Add pasta and toss until browned, remove from heat.
- Add parmesan and remaining green onion toss then place in serving dishes.
- Heat pesto quickly in still-hot pan.
- Top pasta with salmon, garnish with pesto and parmesan and enjoy!
