It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

directions
Snap off woody ends of asparagus; cut each stalk crosswise diagonally into 1-inch pieces.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; saute 1 minute. Add asparagus and saute 2 minutes. Stir in hot water and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cover skillet and cook asparagus 2 minutes or until almost tender. Uncover and cook 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook fettuccine according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, place salmon in a microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Microwave 2 to 3 minutes or until fish is just cooked through. Separate fillet into bite-size chunks, and mix gently with cooking juices in bowl.
Drain pasta and mix with asparagus in skillet; add salmon with juices, gently toss and serve.

I enjoyed this dish. However, I would have liked it to be a bit saucier. I added a few tablespoons of butter to the dish and found it to glisten the noodles, and add flavor.

This was good but I think it would be just as good using canned salmon or leftover salmon. I didn't like microwaving the salmon as it gets the microwave fishy smelling.
