Quick Pasta With Salmon And Tomatoes In Cream Sauce Food

QUICK PASTA WITH SALMON AND TOMATOES IN CREAM SAUCE

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 12 minutes. Drain.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat while spaghetti is cooking and cook salmon and garlic until salmon is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and basil, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes. Pour in cream and simmer over low heat until flavors are well combined and salmon is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve sauce over cooked pasta.

PASTA WITH TOMATO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and saute for a minute or so. Pour in the tomato sauce, add sugar, salt and pepper to taste and stir. Cook over low heat for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
• Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the cream. Add cheese to taste, then check the seasoning. Stir in the pasta and thin with a little pasta water if needed. Add the chopped basil and serve immediately.

BROILED SALMON WITH TOMATO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Combine the lima beans and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until almost tender, about 7 minutes. Add the peas, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; cover and cook until the peas and beans are tender, about 5 more minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Add 1 tablespoon butter and the parsley; stir to coat. Meanwhile, put the salmon skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with foil; season lightly with salt and pepper. Broil until browned on top, 6 to 8 minutes. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in another saucepan over medium heat; add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and boil until reduced by half, about 2 more minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, then add the heavy cream and 3/4 cup water and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes; stir in the herbs. Drizzle over the salmon and serve with the bean mixture.

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.

SALMON WITH TOMATO CREAM

Steps:

• Run your hand lightly over the fish to check for little pin bones. They can be pulled out with a tweezers or small pliers. Rub a heavy nonstick skillet with a little of the butter. Heat to very hot and sear the salmon over the high heat, about 2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned but not cooked through. Remove from the pan to a platter and cover lightly with foil to keep warm.
• Add the remaining butter to the pan, lower the heat to medium and saute the onion and garlic until soft but not brown. Add the wine, stir, and let it cook down briefly. Then stir in the cream. Raise the heat so the liquid concentrates and thickens a bit, then stir in the tomatoes. Cook over high heat another minute or so, just until the tomatoes soften. Then add the chives. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Add the lemon juice.
• Return the salmon and any juices from the platter to the pan. Reheat and baste briefly with the sauce. Then transfer the fish and sauce to a serving platter or to individual dinner plates. Serve at once.
