Salmon Broccoli Pasta Food

SALMON BROCCOLI PASTA

Steps:

• Boil water in a large pot (cook broccoli then use same water to cook pasta to save time). Pull the broccoli apart into small trees. Cook broccoli for about 5 minutes and take out and drain and run under cold water.
• Keep the pot of water on and boiling then add salt and cook pasta according to package directions; drain and drizzle a little olive oil to keep from clumping, set aside.
• Melt the butter and add the olive oil using low heat in a large sauce pan (or use the same pot to reduce dishes).
• Saute garlic and cook for about 4 minutes, add in half and half, a little salt, and cook just until half and half is heated up.
• Add the broccoli, salmon, and pasta, let that soak up the sauce.
• Next add the ricotta cheese and mix it inches Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add chives if desired.
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.

SALMON AND BROCCOLI PASTA

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 190C. Gently fry the onion and garlic in a splash of olive oil with the oregano until soft.
• Add the tomatoes and chili, season with black pepper and salt and simmer for up to half an hour until the sauce has reduced and tomatoes have broken down. You can mash up the tomatoes towards the end with a spoon.
• Halfway through the sauce cooking time, place the salmon fillets on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with black pepper and salt. Roast in the oven for 12 minutes.
• Cook the pasta according to the instructions and steam the broccoli for ten minutes.
• When the sauce is cooked add a splash of red wine vinegar and the cream and stir through. Break up the salmon into bite size chunks and stir into the pasta.
• Serve the salmon pasta over the tagliatelle and scatter the broccoli over top. Great with a good sprinkling of parmesan too.

15-MINUTE BROILED SALMON AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and set a rack 2 inches from the heat.
• On a large sheet tray lined with aluminum foil, toss the broccoli with the olive oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli out into a singer layer. Broil the broccoli while you prepare the salmon.
• Thinly slice the scallions and finely grate the lemon zest, then add them to a small bowl with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
• Remove the broccoli from the oven. (Parts of the broccoli should be lightly charred.) Use a spatula to stir the broccoli and move it to the outer edges of the baking sheet. Sprinkle each fillet all over with salt and pepper and place them in the center of the baking sheet. Divide the mayonnaise mixture on top of the fillets, spreading to cover. Broil, rotating the pan halfway through, until the sauce has turned deep golden brown and the salmon is opaque, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cut half of the zested lemon into wedges.
• Divide the salmon, broccoli and lemon wedges among 4 plates and serve immediately.

SALMON AND BROCCOLI ALFREDO WITH PASTA

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, cook noodles as directed on package.
• While noodles are cooking, flake and drain salmon.
• Yes, this is necessary!
• I was new to canned salmon, and so I didn't believe the instructions, but I soon discovered that salmon truly does come in huge, icky lumps.
• When noodles are 2 to 4 minutes away from being done, add the broccoli to the water.
• This will probably stop the water from boiling, so those 2 to 4 minutes might end up closer to 8 to 10 minutes instead!
• This happened to me, but, amazingly, even with 8 extra minutes of cooking time the broccoli did not become mush.
• Drain pasta and broccoli, reserving about a cup of the cooking water.
• Return noodles and broccoli to pot.
• Add Alfredo and seasonings to taste (I recommend lots of black pepper and--even better--Trader Joe's Sun-Dried Tomato Seasoning Splash, which is sold, not surprisingly, at Trader Joe's-- about 8 teaspoons of it).
• If the sauce is too thick, and it likely will be, dribble in the reserved cooking water slowly until the consistency is right.
• And you're done.
• Woo hoo.
• You just opened some cans, and a jar, and a box, and a package, and now you have yummy pasta.
• Enjoy.

SALMON PESTO PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add a large pinch of salt and cook the pasta according to package directions for al dente, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and bell pepper. Cook until the bell pepper starts to soften, about 1 minute. Add the salmon and red pepper flakes, if using, to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and the black pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes without stirring. Then continue cooking and stirring until the salmon is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and set aside.
• For the pesto: Place the basil, garlic, pine nuts, salt and black pepper in a blender. Start on low speed, then increase to medium. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and blend until smooth. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides. Add the cheese and blend a few seconds just to incorporate. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl with the salmon. Add the pesto and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until chilled. Finish with basil leaves and grated cheese if desired.

ITALIAN BROCCOLI & SALMON BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C and get out an ovenproof dish (measuring 20 by 30cm, and about 5cm deep). Meanwhile, put a large pan of water on to boil for the pasta. When it is boiling rapidly, tip in the pasta with a generous sprinkling of salt. Give it a stir, return to the boil and cook for 6 minutes. Add the broccoli, then return the water to the boil and cook for 4 minutes more, until the broccoli is on the firm side of just tender. Drain well.
• While the pasta is cooking, put the butter, flour and milk in a large pan and heat, whisking or stirring continuously, until it thickens to make a smooth sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in the mascarpone, sun-dried tomatoes, capers (if using), anchovies (if using) and basil, then add the pasta and broccoli and season well.
• Halve the salmon fillets widthways (you will see that there is an obvious divide on each fillet) then place the pieces in a single layer on the base of the ovenproof dish. Spoon the broccoli mixture on top, then scatter with the grated cheddar. (You can chill this for up to 4 hours if you want to get ahead.)
• Bake for 30 minutes until the mixture is just starting to bubble round the edges and the mixture is pale golden - don't let it go too dark or the fish will overcook.
