EASY SMOKED SALMON PASTA



Easy Smoked Salmon Pasta image

A really quick, easy sauce for 'pasta asciutta,' which means 'dry pasta.' It's not a dish over-loaded with sauce, but one that appreciates the simple smokiness of good smoked salmon. Serve sprinkled with some Parmesan or garnished with some parsley. This is not a creamy, thick sauce. Just one that really brings out the simple, yet fantastic flavors of smoked salmon. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (8 ounce) package linguine pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 ounce smoked salmon, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese
3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir the linguine into the water and return to a boil. Cook uncovered until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the water.
  • Melt the butter with the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat; when the mixture begins to bubble, add the shallots and cook until softened. Stir the salmon, cream cheese, and milk into the shallot mixture. Mix the reserved water from the pasta into the mixture. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the pasta to serve.

Found in a Light and Tasty magazine. The recipe submitter had found it a long time ago in another magazine. I did not think it would really taste like smoked salmon but it does. Great with pumpernickel slices as an appetizer.

EASY BRIE-ZY SMOKED SALMON MUFFINS



EASY BRIE-ZY SMOKED SALMON MUFFINS image

Categories     Cheese     Fish     Brunch     No-Cook     Quick & Easy

Yield Makes 4 open face sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 package Creme de Brie spread
1 tsp finely minced garlic
1 package sliced smoked salmon
2 english muffins, split and toasted
Sliced black olives, capers

Steps:

  • Add the garlic to the brie and mix well. Spread toasted muffin halves with the brie mix. Top with a generous slice of smoked salmon and sprinkle with olive slices and capers.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Salmon: Choose a fresh, high-quality salmon fillet with a vibrant color and firm texture. Fresh salmon should smell like the ocean, not fishy.
  • Preparing the Salmon: Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any bones or pin bones with tweezers or a fish bone remover.
  • Creating the Smoking Mixture: Combine brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dill in a small bowl. Adjust the measurements to suit your taste preferences.
  • Applying the Smoking Mixture: Generously rub the smoking mixture all over the salmon fillet, ensuring that it is evenly coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for a more intense flavor.
  • Setting Up the Smoker: Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). If using a charcoal smoker, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the smoker box.
  • Smoking the Salmon: Place the salmon fillet on the smoker rack and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fish. Smoke the salmon for 1-2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  • Resting the Salmon: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful fish.

Conclusion:

Smoking salmon at home is a rewarding and delicious experience. With the right ingredients, equipment, and techniques, you can create mouthwatering smoked salmon that rivals what you find in gourmet delis or restaurants. Whether you prefer a mild or robust flavor, experimenting with different smoking mixtures and woods will allow you to customize the taste to your liking. So, fire up your smoker, follow these tips, and enjoy the delectable flavors of homemade smoked salmon!
