Smoked Salmon in Creamy Whiskey Sauce over Pasta image

This makes a quick yet elegant main course, with rich flavors. The mascarpone cheese can be substituted with cream, but you will need to cook it down for a few minutes after adding to reduce and achieve the proper consistency for the sauce. DO NOT leave the pistachios out, I think they are integral to the dish !

I would have liked the salmon to be a little more smoky.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce didn't turn out as creamy as I expected.

The sauce was a little too heavy for my taste, but the salmon was cooked perfectly.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The smokiness of the salmon pairs perfectly with the creaminess of the sauce.

This dish was a hit! The salmon was perfectly smoked and the creamy whiskey sauce was rich and flavorful. The pasta was cooked al dente and everything came together beautifully. My family loved it and I will definitely be making it again.
