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.

CREAMY PASTA WITH SALMON



Creamy Pasta with Salmon image

There was a lot of kitchen improv involved in the making of this recipe! It works as a seafood dish or a pasta dish. It's served with a dilly sour cream sauce!

Provided by Chef AidF

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
2 medium (blank)s lemon, juiced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ pound salmon fillet
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (8 ounce) package fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
1 large shallot, minced
¼ cup sour cream
1 bunch chopped fresh dill
1 cup garden cress, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • While pasta cooks, pour enough water into a frying pan to cover salmon; add dill. Strain in lemon juice. Mix and season with salt and pepper. Add salmon to the pan and poach over medium-high heat, flipping as necessary, until it flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes. Remove the skin when you flip it the first time.
  • At the same time, heat olive oil in a pan over medium to medium-high heat. Saute green beans and shallots until the shallots start to brown and the green beans soften, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Once the salmon is poached, use tongs to set it aside in a shallow bowl, but don't throw the poaching mixture away. Take about 1/4 cup of the poaching mixture and add it to a saucepan. Add sour cream and chopped dill and mix over medium heat until combined. Remove from heat and mix into pasta.
  • Place pasta on serving plates, along with some chunks of the salmon, plus some of the sauteed mixture. Try to get an even mix if possible. Sprinkle with garden cress. Serve immediately!

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 high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh, wild-caught salmon, and high-quality pasta and cream.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it's just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality cream sauce: The cream sauce is what makes this dish so rich and delicious. Use a heavy cream or half-and-half, and add some grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
  • Add vegetables to the dish: Vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish. Try adding some chopped spinach, broccoli, or zucchini.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Salmon pasta is best served immediately after it's cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Salmon pasta in cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover salmon. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that the whole family will love.
