Salmon Pasta in White Wine Sauce

[ I am making Fresh Salmon Pasta in White Wine Sauce recipe in partnership with Nobilo Wines and the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). Thank you to Nobilo Wines and MSC for sponsoring this post!]

Whew! This week is finally over!! 

Somehow, I managed to attend 4 grad events in the past 6 days for my students, and I am exhausted! Meeting parent, taking photos and eating more food than I can handle is typically a fun time. Until it becomes a weeklong event, every night this week.

I am also getting pretty sick of the chicken that they have been serving at every meal. Time to switch it up with this Salmon Pasta in White Wine Sauce!

One aspect of cooking at home that has become increasingly important to me is to use sustainably sourced foods and products. 

My shift in perspective came from watching many documentaries with my school this year, and trying to come up with ways as a community to change our attitude and to buy sustainable seafood.

How can you identify sustainable seafood?

With companies like MSC, it makes it a lot easier to make the right choice when buying our food.

There was a time where I would need to research the brands before feeling good about buying their products. But MSC makes it super easy to find seafood that is good for you and good for the environment. All you have to do is look for the MSC blue fish label!

Where can you buy MSC Blue Label Products?

Going to my local grocery store, I was surprised by how many products in the fresh and frozen seafood aisle had the MSC blue fish label! I mean, just look at it!

You can buy them at hundreds of grocery stores. I always look for them as soon as I walk into the seafood section, and I have never been to a grocery store that DIDN’T have at least one MSC blue label product.

There are a lot of fillets and frozen fish, but there are also a lot of boxes of prepared fish-and-chips style frozen fish that you really have no excuse NOT to cook with sustainable wild seafood.

I buy the prepared fish-and-chips style frozen fish for my busy weeknights, and the fillets for my weekends.

But it is not only on fish. You can also find the MSC blue fish label on your favourite types of seafood, such as shrimp, morel, tuna and so much more!

What can you pair with these products?

This might be the most important question of this post! 

Of course you want to enjoy sustainable seafood. But having the perfect wine pairing is crucial to any good meal.

Nobilo wine is my new favourite drink to pair with my seafood! 

Even when eating my prepared fish-and-chips style weeknight meal, ya girl needs her wine! The Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc is to DIE for, you will want to drink it for every meal.

I have been raving to all my friends about this New Zealand wine. You don’t typically think New Zealand when you think of wine, but this one makes me want to hang out in the New Zealand section of the LCBO more often!

This wine is fresh, crisp, refreshing and citrusy, with tropical fruit flavours. Almost makes me feel like I am already on vacation.

(3 more weeks and counting!!)

And it is also great value for the price! Definitely a must when you are making a seafood dish. 

And if you are making a seafood dish, may I suggest this Salmon Pasta in White Wine Sauce?

I was going to make a pasta with shrimp, but I had trouble finding shrimp that was sustainably sourced with an MSC blue label.

Unfortunately, the large majority of shrimp sold in Canada is farmed and cannot be MSC certified. While this is a bummer, I want to do my part in living a more sustainable lifestyle. And if it comes with eating less shrimp, then so be it!

But you can find shrimp with an MSC blue label. You just need to go to a few different grocery stores to do it!

This Salmon Pasta in White Wine Sauce recipe made me forget all about wanting to make this with shrimp. I am all about the salmon pastas now!!

Plus, it is super easy to make, you may not want to buy the pre-made fish from the grocery stores!

Who am I kidding! I will always buy those pre-made fish. But this recipe is a winner. 

It also pairs well with some Nobilo wine. Just saying 😉
