Steps:
- Heat the broiler. Put fennel seeds in a small, self-sealing plastic bag, and crush with a rolling pin. Add parsley, brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper to the bag, and shake to mix.
- Press the mixture onto the skinless side of the salmon. Broil salmon, skin side down, until it is no longer red in the center, about 8 minutes.
- Flake the fish with a fork. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 13 minutes. Reserve about 1/2 cup cooking water, and drain pasta. Return it to the warm pot, add spinach, and toss.
- In a bowl, mix together sour cream, lemon juice to taste, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons pasta water.
- Put pasta on plates, top with salmon, and drizzle with the sour-cream mixture. Or simply toss pasta and spinach in the pot with the salmon and the sour-cream mixture, adding pasta water as needed, and serve.
BAKED LEMON-BUTTER SALMON WITH PASTA
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!

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.

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.

SALMON PICCATA WITH HERBED PASTA
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add a small handful of salt. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and reserve the pot.
- While the pasta is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then dust with flour. Add the salmon to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, flipping occasionally, until golden on the outside and just cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- In the reserved pot, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil over low heat. Return the pasta to the pot, add all but 2 tablespoons of the herbs and toss well to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the salmon to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice and capers to the skillet. Simmer over high heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until the liquid is slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and gradually swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until emulsified. Stir in the reserved 2 tablespoons herbs and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the salmon to the sauce and turn to coat. Divide the pasta among plates, top with the salmon and sauce and serve right away.
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.

SPAGHETTI WITH SALMON TWO WAYS
To dress pasta? Olive oil, of course. But that was until I tried a generously buttered spaghetti at Arakataka restaurant in Oslo. Only after I unwound the disarmingly simple knot of fresh pasta strands tossed with butter and crowned with fish roe did the sumptuous complexity of flavors start to bloom. This was a dish I knew I would try to replicate at home. The challenge was the roe. The restaurant used lojrom, also called bleak roe, a fairly fine-grained roe that is popular in Scandinavia but hard to find in the United States. Other roes, like golden whitefish, trout and salmon, may be substituted. For a somewhat more substantial preparation, I added some hot-smoked salmon, ripe tomato and a hint of lemon.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. While water is heating, melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over low heat. Add lemon zest to butter and cook about 90 seconds, until the lemon is fragrant. Do not allow butter to brown. Remove from heat. Add tomato and salmon to the pan and stir briefly. Fold in mint.
- When water boils, add pasta and cook until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain, then place pasta in the pot with the salmon and gently fold ingredients together. Season generously with pepper and, if needed, salt.
- Divide pasta among 2 or 3 shallow plates. Top each portion with roe and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of salmon: For this recipe, it's best to use a fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet. Avoid using frozen or farmed salmon, as the flavor and texture will be inferior.
- Cook the salmon properly: The key to cooking salmon perfectly is to cook it until it is just cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. To check if the salmon is done, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fork comes out easily, the salmon is cooked.
- Use a flavorful pasta: The pasta you choose will play a big role in the overall flavor of the dish. Choose a pasta that is flavorful and has a good texture. Some good options include penne, rigatoni, or fusilli.
- Don't skimp on the vegetables: The vegetables in this recipe add flavor, color, and nutrition. Be sure to use fresh, seasonal vegetables. If you don't have all of the vegetables listed in the recipe, feel free to substitute others that you have on hand.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and has a creamy texture. Some good options include Alfredo sauce, pesto sauce, or a simple butter and lemon sauce.
Conclusion:
Salmon with pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a salmon with pasta dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
