CREAMY PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON, ARUGULA AND LEMON
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.

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.

SALMON AND LEMON PASTA
I try to keep things simple and easy on the weekends. With some salmon fillets in the freezer and pasta in the pantry I decided to make a light flavored dinner. My husband loved my take on Salmon and Lemon Pasta and I have to say so did I. It was a good change from a red sauce or heavy cream sauce. I had a pound of angel hair pasta so I just used that but you could use any long pasta you have on hand. The ingredient list is short and simple and so is the cooking process which is just how I like it! If you have an extra lemon you can squeeze it over the salmon. Also sprinkle with additional fresh parsely.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic, cook one minute.
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Place in the skillet and cook 5 minutes. Turn the salmon and add the white wine, cover and cook an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove salmon and cover to keep warm. Reduce heat to a simmer and zest the lemon into the skillet. Halve and squeeze the juice from the lemon into the skillet. Allow to simmer until reduce slightly, roughly 5 minutes.
- Salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the parsley and toss the pasta into the sauce until completely coated.
ASPARAGUS AND SMOKED SALMON PASTA IN LEMON PISTACHIO VINAIGRETTE
I used to eat a salad similar to this at a place called Massimo's. I was disappointed they went out of business, so I came up with what best approximated theirs and I've been a happy camper since. This is probably better in the warmer months, as it's served room temperature. Serve with your favorite Italian bread.

Steps:
- Cook the farfalle in 1/2 tbs salted water, according to the package directions for time.
- Prepare the vinaigrette.
- When the pasta is done, run it under cold water and pat dry with paper towels, then toss it with the vinaigrette.
- Cut the stems from the asparagus and boil or steam the asparagus for a minute or two, depending on thickness.
- Cut the salmon into strips and put them in the bowl with the pasta.
- Run the cooked asparagus under cold water until cool and cut into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces and add to the pasta, tossing the salad again.
- Top with chopped parsley and refrigerate for several hours.
- Remove and let it come to room temperature and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh salmon, ripe lemons, and high-quality pasta will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish and will only take a few minutes to cook through. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
- Use a microplane zester to get the most flavor out of the lemon zest. A microplane zester will create a fine zest that will distribute evenly throughout the dish.
- Don't be afraid to add more lemon juice or zest to taste. The brightness of the lemon is what really makes this dish shine.
- Serve the pasta immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the pasta is hot and the sauce is creamy.
Conclusion:
This salmon and lemon pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of salmon, lemon, and creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and delicious meal, give this salmon and lemon pasta a try.
