Lemon Dill Salmon Pasta Food

CREAMY LEMON SALMON AND DILL PASTA

Steps:

• 1. Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the package until it's al dente. When it's done, drain it, but not before reserving a cup of pasta water. 2. In a large pan, add the olive oil and shallow fry the salmon on medium heat until it's done to your liking. Remove it from the pan and set aside. 3. Add the butter to the same pan (don't remove the remaining olive oil) and cook the shallot for a couple of minutes, then add the minced garlic, lemon juice, and white wine and cook for another couple of minutes. 4. Stir in the double cream, cook for a minute or two until it thickens and tip the salmon back in. 5. Add the dill, reserving some for serving, and season to taste. Serve immediately, with extra freshly ground black pepper on top, if you like.

LEMON DILL SALMON PASTA

Steps:

• Boil a salted pot of water for your pasta. Cook it al dente according to package directions. I suggest starting the sauce once the water's boiling.
• Season the salmon with salt & pepper and coat it in the flour.
• Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon and cook it for 2 minutes/side, then take the fish out of the pan and set it aside.
• Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and garlic to the pan. Let it bubble for about 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium.
• Add the cream, dill, and salmon back into the pan. Break the fish up with your spoon into bite-size pieces. Cook it for a few more minutes until it's cooked through and the sauce has reduced and thickened a bit.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Toss it & serve immediately with parsley and parmesan cheese if desired.

CREAMY SALMON PASTA

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.
