Indulge in this creamy salmon dish for two. It's comforting and filling, and ready in just 30 minutes. Serve with a green salad

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 salmon fillets
1 tbsp olive oil, plus 1 tsp if roasting
175g penne
2 shallots or 1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
100ml white wine
200ml double cream or crème fraîche
¼ lemon, zested and juiced
½ small bunch dill, finely chopped

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often less flavorful and may contain more contaminants.
  • Cook the salmon properly: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it gently. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Make sure the sauce is flavorful: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Use a good quality tomato sauce and add plenty of herbs and spices.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will add color and flavor to the dish. Use a variety of vegetables, such as broccoli, zucchini, and carrots.
  • Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This salmon and pasta in creamy red sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection, the sauce is flavorful and creamy, and the pasta is cooked al dente. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
