SALMON AND LEMON PASTA
I try to keep things simple and easy on the weekends. With some salmon fillets in the freezer and pasta in the pantry I decided to make a light flavored dinner. My husband loved my take on Salmon and Lemon Pasta and I have to say so did I. It was a good change from a red sauce or heavy cream sauce. I had a pound of angel hair pasta so I just used that but you could use any long pasta you have on hand. The ingredient list is short and simple and so is the cooking process which is just how I like it! If you have an extra lemon you can squeeze it over the salmon. Also sprinkle with additional fresh parsely.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Steps:
- You can either steam or roast the salmon, depending if you want to turn the oven on or not. To roast, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, place on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and roast for 12 mins until opaque and the flesh starts to flake when pressed. To steam, place the fillets skin-side down in a steamer, and steam over a pan of simmering water for 8-10 mins until cooked.
- While the salmon is cooking, boil the pasta for 10 mins until al dente, then drain, reserving 100ml of the pasta water.
- Heat the oil on a medium heat in a wide frying pan and fry the shallot for 6 mins until softened, but not turning golden. Add the garlic and fry for a minute more until fragrant. Add the wine, bubble for a few minutes until reduced by half, then add the cream and season well. Bring to a very gentle simmer.
- Flake the cooked salmon into big chunky pieces, leaving the skin behind. Add to the sauce with the cooked pasta. Add the lemon zest, a squeeze of the juice and most of the dill. Add a splash of the pasta water to the sauce to coat the pasta if you need to. Toss gently to keep the salmon in big pieces. Check the seasoning, if using double cream you may need a squeeze more lemon juice. Grind over some black pepper and scatter over the remaining dill. Serve with a green salad.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. For this recipe, it's best to use a firm-fleshed salmon, such as king or sockeye. Avoid using a softer-fleshed salmon, such as pink or chum, as it will fall apart more easily during cooking.
- Cook the salmon properly. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently. The best way to do this is to pan-fry or bake it. Avoid boiling or poaching salmon, as this will make it tough and dry.
- Use fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice will give your pasta a brighter, more flavorful taste than bottled lemon juice. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to use a good quality brand.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Add the salmon and lemon sauce to the pasta immediately after it's cooked. This will help to prevent the pasta from sticking together and will also allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
Conclusion:
Lemon pasta with salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in your own home.
