FETTUCCINE WITH SMOKED SALMON, GOAT CHEESE, LEEKS



Fettuccine With Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese, Leeks image

Here's a simple and fast recipe from Bon Appetit. The goat cheese goes well with the salmon.

Provided by Vicki Butts (lazyme)

Categories     Pasta

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 c olive oil
4 leeks, halved lengthwise, sliced
5 oz goat cheese, crumbled
2 zucchini, halved lengthwise, sliced
1 c half and half
1 lb fettucine
1/4 lb smoked chinook salmon, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced leeks and sauté until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add sliced zucchini and sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • 2. Add 1 cup half and half and crumbled goat cheese and stir until goat cheese melts. Remove sauce from heat. Season sauce with salt and generous amount of pepper.
  • 3. Meanwhile, cook fettuccine in large pot of rapidly boiling salted water until pasta is just tender.
  • 4. Drain fettuccine and return to pot. Add sauce to fettuccine and toss until thoroughly coated. Transfer fettuccine to large bowl. Top pasta with smoked salmon and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon whenever possible, as it is typically leaner and has a more intense flavor compared to farm-raised salmon.
  • Marinate the Salmon: Marinating the salmon enhances its flavor, adds moisture, and prevents it from drying out during cooking. Consider using a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
  • Properly Season the Salmon: Don't shy away from seasoning the salmon generously with salt and pepper. Seasoning helps to enhance the natural flavor of the fish and creates a delicious crust.
  • Cook the Salmon to Perfection: The key to perfectly cooked salmon is to cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking and prevent overcooking.
  • Serve with Complementary Sides: Pair the goat cheese-crusted salmon with a variety of sides to create a balanced meal. Roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad are great options to complement the richness of the salmon.

Conclusion:
