Salmon Alfredo Pasta image

A creamy Alfredo pasta tossed with flakes of hot smoked salmon (or plain cooked salmon). Make sure you follow the steps to toss the sauce and pasta with some of the pasta cooking water - it makes all the difference to create a luscious creamy sauce using only 1/2 cup of cream!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 oz / 250g dried fettuccine
3 tbsp / 50g unsalted butter
1 small shallot ((US) / eschallot (Australia), very finely minced (Note 1))
½ cup / 125 ml heavy cream ((Note 2))
¾ cup / 185 ml freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano or parmesan ((Notes 3 and 4))
¼ teaspoon salt
Good grind of black pepper
6-7 oz / 180 - 200g hot smoked salmon fillet (, flaked (Note 5))
Fresh parsley ((optional))
Extra Parmigiano Reggiano

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente (still firm but just cooked through). (Note 6)
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a deep fry pan over medium high heat. (Note 7)
  • Add the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes or until tender.
  • Add the cream and bring to boil. Turn heat down to medium low and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Remove the fry pan from the heat and stir through the Parmigiano Reggiano, salt and pepper until the sauce is smooth.
  • TAKE OUT 1/2 cup of pasta water PLUS scoop out an extra mug (extra, just in case). Then drain the pasta in a colander.
  • Transfer the pasta and 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water into the fry pan with the sauce. Add salmon. Return the fry pan to the stove over medium heat. Toss very gently to coat the pasta in the sauce and allow the sauce to emulsify (Note 6) for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes, until the sauce coats the pasta - there should be no sauce pooled at the bottom of the skillet. (Note 7)
  • Remove from the stove and serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh parsley, if using.

PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON AND CAPERS



Pasta with Smoked Salmon and Capers image

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.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 pound smoked salmon, chopped
1 cup heavy cream (a.k.a. whipping cream)
3 tablespoons capers, drained
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
N/A freshly ground black pepper
1 pound pasta, cooked al dente, drained (reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water), and tossed with olive oil
N/A olive oil
Freshly grated imported Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, but not browned. Add the smoked salmon and continue cooking just until the salmon turns opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and add the capers. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Be careful how much salt you add because the smoked salmon and capers are both salty. Add the pasta and toss to coat. If there doesn't appear to be enough sauce, add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it down. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

PAN SEARED SALMON AND SCALLOPS WITH MACADAMIA-CILANTRO PESTO



Pan Seared Salmon and Scallops with Macadamia-Cilantro Pesto image

Try to get wild Alaskan king salmon if it's in season. But any salmon will do, just make sure it's fresh. However, if there are no good quality scallops available, just omit them.

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup unsalted macadamia nut pieces
1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
½ cup chopped green onions
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 lemon, zested and juiced
¾ cup macadamia nut oil, or more as needed
Kosher salt to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil
8 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, with skin
16 large (U-10) scallops, tendon removed
kosher salt to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare macadamia-cilantro pesto by placing macadamia nuts, cilantro, green onion, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and macadamia nut oil into the bowl of a blender. Puree until smooth, adding more oil if needed; season to taste with kosher salt.
  • Heat two very large skillets over medium-high heat with two tablespoons of oil each until smoking. Season the salmon and scallops to taste with kosher salt. Sear salmon fillets, meat-side down, until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Flip over, and cook on the skin-side 5 minutes to desired doneness. Place seared salmon onto serving plates, then sear the scallops until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • To serve, spoon some of the macadamia-cilantro pesto over the salmon, and garnish with two seared scallop pieces.

CREAMY BAY SCALLOP SPAGHETTI



Creamy Bay Scallop Spaghetti image

This scallop and spaghetti dinner with a creamy sauce is fast and easy. I cook the scallops a bit longer than many chefs, but that's gives the dish more flavor and they're still tender and moist. I think you'll agree, the sherry sauce benefits significantly from the longer cook time.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces uncooked thick spaghetti
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound bay scallops
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1 pinch red pepper flakes
⅓ cup dry sherry
1 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley, divided
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for serving

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 10 minutes or 1 minute less than directed on the package.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. When oil just starts to smoke, add scallops and move them into a single layer. Let sear on high for 60 seconds. Toss to turn. Add butter and stir scallops until butter melts. Stir in garlic. Add lemon zest and red pepper flakes. Stir in sherry and cook and stir until alcohol cooks off, about 1 minute. Pour in cream. When mixture begins to simmer, reduce heat to medium-low. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Drain pasta. Transfer to skillet with scallops; bring to a simmer. Add half the parsley. Cook until pasta is heated through and tender, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Grate generously with grated cheese. Add the rest of the parsley. Serve in warm bowls.

Categories     Seafood

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 c 2% milk
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 c mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 c parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 tsp pepper
1 pinch saffron threads, crushed
4 oz bay scallops
1/3 c green onion, sliced
1 Tbsp capers, drained
2 oz lox, cut into strips
8 oz spinach fettuccine, cooked and drained

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir toghether milk and cornstarch; add to garlic. Cook and stir over medium-low heat till thickened and bubbly. Add mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, pepper, and saffron; stir till cheeses are melted and smooth.
  • 2. Add scallops, green onion, and capers; cook 3-5 minutes, stirring often, till scallops are done. Stir in salmon. Serve over hot cooked fettuccine or pasta.

Tips:

  • Choose the right scallops. Look for dry scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops over high heat creates a nice crust and helps to lock in the juices. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the scallops and don't overcrowd the pan.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and just cooked through.
  • Use high-quality smoked salmon. The quality of the smoked salmon will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for smoked salmon that is moist and has a good smoky flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to add your own personal touches. For example, you could add some chopped fresh herbs, such as dill or chives, to the sauce.

Conclusion:

Scallop and smoked salmon pasta is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also relatively easy to make, so it is a great option for home cooks of all levels. With a few simple tips, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
