This delicious unofficial Slimming World Salmon Carbonara is so quick and easy to make! Simply bake or grill your salmon while you cook the spaghetti, then combine it all with a cheesy egg mixture. Hey presto!
Simple, healthy, delicious and quick. These are my four favourite words when they team together in a recipe. And this unofficial Slimming World Salmon Carbonara ticks all my boxes.
It's also possibly one of the quickest Italian dishes to make. That and my carbonara with bacon.
With its creamy texture of whisked eggs, grated cheese, it's all stirred together with sautéed garlic, mushrooms and flaked salmon. But of course, you could pack it full of extra speed foods if you wish.

Yes, this salmon carbonara is healthy when using cheese as part of your A allowance. And bear in mind that you will be allowed to eat more cheese when opting for a reduced fat option.
As it is quite carby with lots of protein, it is particularly filling at around 508 calories per serving.
But it's always best to make a 3rd of your plate things like leafy greens, salads or low GI vegetables.
Can I Make Salmon Carbonara Without Eggs?
There are many other ingredients you can make carbonara with.
You could use a low fat soft cream cheese, such as Primula Light and omit the parmesan and eggs. You'll also find reheating carbonara with cream cheeses much easier too.
Or you could use Quark or fromage frais, ensuring they are fat free. However, with it being flavourless, you'll likely want to add some parmesan regardless. Or maybe even a smidgen ham stock. And of course, seasoning.
Can I Freeze & Reheat Salmon Carbonara?
Salmon carbonara is not great for freezing and reheating. This is because the egg mixture is delicate and is very easy for the spaghetti to quickly absorb the mixed egg.
Also, when reheating, the egg can separate and slightly go scrambled. However, the taste is exactly the same. I also never freeze carbonara.
It is best to eat once freshly cooked. But if this is not realistic, I place in a microwavable lidded container and reheat for about 3 minutes. But if you need to add some extra creaminess, just stir in a dash of water or quark.

This recipe is Syn Free when serving between four people. That is providing you are using skinless salmon and also cheeses as part of your Healthy Extra A. Here's the breakdown:
- 30g of parmesan is 1 person's Healthy Extra A
- 40g of low fat cheddar is 1 person's Healthy Extra A
- This means when serving between 4 people, one portion is HALF of your Healthy Extra A for the day.

I really enjoyed this meal but I felt a little put off thinking the egg wasn’t cooked properly.
