Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, separated
6 salmon fillets (2 1/2 to 3 ounces each, about 1 to 1 1/4 pounds total), preferably wild-caught King or Sockeye salmon
2 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1 pound angel hair pasta
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, separated
1 tablespoon minced shallot
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup dry white wine or seafood stock
Juice and rinds of 2 lemons (1/3 to 1/2 cup juice)
2 cups heavy cream
5 ounces arugula (4 packed cups)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Warm your oven: Set the oven to its lowest setting (mine is 150°F) to keep the salmon warm once it's cooked.
  • Start the water for pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
  • Sear the salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large sauté pan (preferably nonstick). Once the oil starts to ripple in the pan, place the salmon fillets into the pan, skin-side up. Press the fillets down gently to make sure the entire surface makes contact with the pan. Sear the salmon fillets for 3 minutes, or until the flesh turns an opaque pink 1/4 of the way up the sides of the fillets.
  • Reduce the sauce and cook the pasta: Reduce the sauce in the pan by half by maintaining a boil. This should take 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Cook the pasta: By now, your pasta water should be at a rolling boil. Add generous tablespoon of salt to the boiling water and drop the pasta into the middle of the pot. Stir the pasta immediately to separate the noodles. Lower the temperature slightly to prevent the water from boiling over and cook the pasta for 4 to 5 minutes, until al dente (or according to package directions). Drain the pasta.

CREAMY PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON, ARUGULA AND LEMON



Creamy Pasta With Smoked Salmon, Arugula and Lemon image

One selling point of smoked salmon is that you don't need to do much to it to get it on the table. Fold it on top of toast and dab it with sour cream and you have the lazy man's cocktail party. But take the salmon one or two steps further and you break out of the cliché. Salmon's buttery fat and smoke serve as useful flavoring elements. In this easy 15-minute meal, it's chopped up and used as a counterweight in pasta tossed with full-fat Greek yogurt, arugula, fresh dill, lemon zest and juice. It is, at once, lively and comforting.

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt
3/4 pound casarecci, gemelli or gigli pasta
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 pound smoked salmon, cut into bite-size pieces
1 clove garlic, smashed and chopped
Zest and juice of 1 Meyer lemon (or a regular lemon)
2 cups packed arugula
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
Coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salty water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta. While it cooks, combine in a large serving bowl the yogurt, salmon, garlic, lemon zest and juice, arugula and dill. Just before the pasta is finished cooking, scoop out 1/2 cup pasta water and reserve.
  • Drain the pasta and slide it into the bowl. Using two spoons, toss the pasta and sauce as you would a salad. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water. Season to taste with salt and grind a generous amount of pepper on top.
