WHO ARE THE ORGANIC BUTCHERY?
Starting life as an organic farm in the heart of the West Country, The Organic Butchery is proudly founded on a long history of organic principles. We source the best quality organic grass-fed and wild meats, sustainable fish and organic free-range poultry from trusted local suppliers and like-minded brands to guarantee the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to approach butchery with a whole-carcass perspective, to make the most of every animal that crosses our blocks, which means we offer you cuts that you will never see on the supermarket shelves.
WHAT IS ORGANIC SALMON?
We work with an award-winning producer of organic salmon based in Northern Ireland. They hold welfare and sustainability at the heart of their system, the fish are farmed in the chilly, fast-flowing waters of the Irish Sea. This makes them powerful and muscular, so their flesh is firm and well-textured.
Ingredients
- 200g pasta
- 1tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper (to season)
- 4 organic salmon fillets
- ½tsp italian seasoning
- 3 pressed garlic cloves
- 30g chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1tbsp of plain flour
- 190g skimmed milk
- 150g strained fresh spinach
- bunch of freshly chopped parsley
Method
- Cook the pasta, according to the packet instructions until al dente, then drain and drizzle with a little bit of oil, season with salt and pepper. Once mixed in well, put this to one side
- Season the salmon fillets on both sides with the Italian seasoning and some salt
- On a medium heat, heat up the oil in a large skillet and add in the salmon to cook for 3-5 minutes. Gently turn them over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon looks flaky. You will then need to set them aside on a plate
- Add in the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet and flash cook for a minute. Stir in the flour and pour in the milk gradually, making sure to stir continuously until a smooth sauce forms
- Add in the spinach to the sauce and keep stirring until it’s wilted. Season with more salt and pepper, as required
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, and cook for a couple minutes until it's all heated through
- In the meantime, flake the cooked salmon with a fork and stir into the pasta and the sauce, making sure you take it off the heat
- Top off the dish with chopped parsley and a pinch of salt and pepper, and serve

Frequently asked questions
-
Just like organic meat, you can get organic fish. Organic fish grows in conditions as close to nature intended as possible state, with production of organic fish being carried out in uncontaminated water of high quality, where the fish do not eat artificial feed and have room to roam. We are proud to work with one of the UK’s only organically certified salmon producers, JCS fish. You can find their organic salmon on our website, delivered frozen so you can enjoy it all year round should you wish.
-
At Coombe Farm Organic we work with JCS fish who supply our organic salmon. JCS fish are one of the UK’s only suppliers of organic salmon production, certified by the Organic Food Federation. We are proud to work with JCS fish as we believe their organic salmon is something very special. The salmon is reared in Spring which mimics an Atlantic salmon’s natural reproductive cycle. The salmon are fed an approved organic feed which is GMO free, with only natural pigments used in the organic salmon feed, resulting in a slightly paler flesh, in comparison to conventionally farmed salmon whose feed have been manipulated to enhance their pink flesh colour. Space is essential in any organic farming system and these salmon are no exception, being given the freedom to move and grow, the space is double that of conventional fish farming systems. This space paired with clean saltwater with a strong flow ensures the salmon grow lean and strong, resulting in a better tasting fish.
-
When you buy organic salmon, you are buying salmon that has come from a trusted source, with the highest welfare standards at the heart of its production. Organic salmon production is regulated to ensure lower stocking densities, conditions that mimic nature as closely as possible and that fed is GMO free. We believe organic salmon is a better tasting fish as a result of the organic condition in which it was produced, but don’t just take our word for it, try it for yourself.
