PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON AND CAPERS
Another classic combination, this dish makes people think you went to a lot of trouble. Actually it's quite simple. Any shape of pasta works, but I prefer a small noodle such as shells or bowties. Despite what an Italian might otherwise recommend, I like to serve this dish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

EASY SMOKED SALMON PASTA
A really quick, easy sauce for 'pasta asciutta,' which means 'dry pasta.' It's not a dish over-loaded with sauce, but one that appreciates the simple smokiness of good smoked salmon. Serve sprinkled with some Parmesan or garnished with some parsley. This is not a creamy, thick sauce. Just one that really brings out the simple, yet fantastic flavors of smoked salmon. Enjoy!

SMOKED SALMON PASTA
This is an awesome pasta that is quick to make and very satisfying. I first copied a recipe from Bon Appetit and then combined it with several recipes from my cookbooks. Over the years I have tweeked it to the recipe it is today. I have used fresh salmon in place of smoked salmon when I have not been able to get smoked salmon, and it was very good as well. Served with a salad it makes a very lovely meal.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for fresh or frozen salmon fillets that are firm and have a vibrant color. Avoid fillets with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Properly Season the Salmon: Generously season the salmon fillets with a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- Cook the Salmon Perfectly: Cook the salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium. Overcooking can dry out the fish, making it tough and less flavorful.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the salmon fillets, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the salmon from cooking evenly and may result in soggy or undercooked fish.
- Use a Flavorful Cooking Medium: To add extra flavor to the salmon, consider cooking it in a flavorful cooking medium such as olive oil, butter, or a mixture of both. You can also add aromatics like garlic, shallots, or herbs to the pan for additional flavor.
- Make a Creamy Sauce: Enhance the salmon pasta dish by making a creamy sauce using ingredients like heavy cream, cream cheese, or Alfredo sauce. This will create a rich and decadent sauce that perfectly complements the salmon and pasta.
- Add Vegetables for Color and Nutrition: Incorporate colorful vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, or bell peppers into your salmon pasta dish. Not only will this add color and texture, but it will also increase the nutritional value of the dish.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the salmon pasta dish with fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or chives. This will add a pop of color, freshness, and additional flavor to the dish.
