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.

PASTA GARLIC CREAM SAUCE WITH SMOKED SALMON



Pasta Garlic Cream Sauce with Smoked Salmon image

Make and share this Pasta Garlic Cream Sauce with Smoked Salmon recipe from Food.com.

Provided by J C9648

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces penne pasta
6 ounces smoked salmon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 ounces green onions
2 ounces parmigiano-reggiano cheese
2 sprigs dill

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in boiling salted water until al dente (firm to the bite, but not cooked all the way through.) Drain and set aside.
  • Saute garlic in olive oil over medium heat.
  • Cook until the garlic begins to sweat, but doesn't turn brown.
  • Add butter.
  • Once butter melts, add cream and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the pasta and keep simmering.
  • Then add the smoked salmon (cut into 1" cubes) and half of the cheese.
  • Toss well until the cheese is incorporated into the sauce.
  • Cut the green onions into 1/2" pieces.
  • Coat in olive oil and broil in the oven.
  • You can do this before cooking the pasta.
  • Add the roasted green onions into the sauce.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve in a large bowl or on a plate.
  • Garnish with the remaining cheese and dill.
  • Serves 2.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This is especially true for the salmon and the vegetables.
  • Cook the salmon properly: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. To ensure that it is cooked perfectly, cook it over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through but still flaky.
  • Make sure the sauce is creamy and flavorful: The sauce is what brings this dish together, so make sure it is creamy and flavorful. Use a good quality cream and add plenty of Parmesan cheese and herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the salmon, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the salmon from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The salmon will be freshest and the sauce will be at its creamiest.

Conclusion:

Salmon and pasta in creamy red sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of salmon, pasta, and creamy red sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish like a pro.
