EASY SMOKED SALMON PASTA



Easy Smoked Salmon Pasta image

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!

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds sea scallops
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/3 cups chopped fresh chives
3/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon
5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/3 cups diced peeled seeded English hothouse cucumber
1 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon
3/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup tarragon vinegar
2 bunches watercress, thick stems trimmed
2 large heads of Belgian endive, trimmed, leaves separated

Steps:

  • Combine scallops and wine in large skillet. Cover and simmer over medium heat until scallops are just opaque in center, about 5 minutes. Drain. Chill scallops until cold, about 2 hours. Cut scallops into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Line twelve 3/4-cup soufflé dishes with plastic wrap, extending over sides by 3 inches. Whisk 1 cup fresh chives, crème fraîche, 1/2 cup tarragon, and 3 tablespoons mustard in large bowl to blend. Gently stir in scallops and cucumber. Season with salt and pepper. Cut 12 rounds from salmon slices to fit bottom of soufflé dishes; place 1 round in each dish. Top each with 1/4 cup scallop mixture. Top each with another layer of salmon, trimming to fit. Divide remaining scallop mixture among dishes (about 1/4 cup for each). Top each with a third layer of salmon, trimming to fit. Fold plastic wrap overhang over terrines to enclose completely. Chill at least 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.)
  • Whisk oil, vinegar and 1/3 cup chives, 3 tablespoons tarragon, and 2 tablespoons mustard in medium bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Unfold plastic wrap atop each terrine. Invert 1 terrine onto each of 12 plates. Peel off plastic wrap from each terrine. Surround each terrine with watercress sprigs and endive leaves. Drizzle greens and terrines with vinaigrette and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for scallops that are firm and plump, and smoked salmon that is moist and has a rich flavor.
  • Cook the scallops properly: Scallops are a delicate seafood, so it's important to cook them carefully. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery. Sear them quickly over high heat until they are golden brown on the outside and opaque in the center.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the scallops, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause them to steam instead of sear, and they won't brown properly.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will really bring your dish together. Use a sauce that is rich and flavorful, such as a creamy Alfredo sauce or a light tomato sauce.

Conclusion:

Scallops and smoked salmon are two delicious and versatile ingredients that can be used to create a variety of flavorful dishes. This recipe for scallops and smoked salmon pasta is a great way to enjoy these ingredients together. The dish is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your pasta creamy or light, with vegetables or without, this recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
