SALMON AND LEMON PASTA



Salmon and Lemon Pasta image

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.

Baked Lemon-Butter Salmon with Pasta image

This is a super simple meal that is largely hands off. The bright lemon pairs beautifully with the tender garlicky salmon on a bed of pasta. Garnish liberally with some Parmesan cheese if desired!

Provided by Rebekah Rose Hills

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) salmon fillet
1 medium lemon, halved, divided
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces, divided
4 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ tablespoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Lightly salt and pepper salmon fillet on both sides, and place in a 2-quart baking dish. Squeeze 1 lemon half over the salmon, then sprinkle with minced garlic and 1/2 of the butter pieces.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • When salmon is cooked, break apart into large chunks (it will break apart a little further when you toss it with the pasta.)
  • Add cooked pasta to the baking dish with the salmon. Drizzle pasta and salmon with olive oil, and add remaining butter pieces. Zest the remaining lemon half and add to the pasta, then squeeze juice from the zested lemon into the pasta as well. Add parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Toss everything gently until pasta is well coated in the pan juices and everything you have added in, and salmon is evenly distributed amongst the pasta. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Add a touch more butter or oil if needed, if your pasta is too dry.

CREAMY SALMON PASTA



Creamy salmon pasta image

Indulge in this creamy salmon dish for two. It's comforting and filling, and ready in just 30 minutes. Serve with a green salad

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 salmon fillets
1 tbsp olive oil, plus 1 tsp if roasting
175g penne
2 shallots or 1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
100ml white wine
200ml double cream or crème fraîche
¼ lemon, zested and juiced
½ small bunch dill, finely chopped

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.
