Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt
One 16-ounce box fusilli pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red bell pepper, cut into small dice
1 pound skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 1/2 cups lightly packed basil leaves, plus more for garnish
1 large clove garlic
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted (see Cook's Note)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for garnish (optional)

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.

SALMON PENNE WITH BASIL PESTO CREAM SAUCE, ARTICHOKES, AND ASPARAGUS



Salmon Penne With Basil Pesto Cream Sauce, Artichokes, and Asparagus image

I first ate this dish at McCormick & Schmick's Restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia. Once I tasted it, I had to go home and duplicate it. This is approximate to the original dish, if not better!

Provided by By The Lake

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb salmon fillet
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 lb penne pasta
1/2 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
2 -3 tablespoons pesto sauce
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can artichoke hearts, quartered
1/2 lb asparagus

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the salmon into 1 inch cubes and place in a buttered baking dish. Add the lemon juice to the melted butter and drizzle over the salmon. Season the salmon with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Do not let the salmon overcook. Remove immediately from the oven and keep warm.
  • While the salmon is cooking, add the pasta to a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cut the asparagus into 1 inch pieces. Add the asparagus to the boiling water during the last three to five minutes of cooking. Drain and put in a large serving bowl.
  • While the salmon and pasta are cooking, combine the butter, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and half-and-half in a saucepan. Season with garlic salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat. Add the pesto at this point. Go light with the pesto to ensure the sauce is lightly flavored.
  • Mix the artichoke hearts with the asparagus and penne pasta and pour the sauce over the pasta mixture. Mix lightly to coat everything. Add the salmon cubes to the top of the pasta. If desired, serve with extra parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper.

SALMON WITH PENNE PASTA ALFREDO



Salmon With Penne Pasta Alfredo image

This recipe was inspired after I ordered the delicious Salmon at Hard Rock Cafe. I was so impressed that I created a recipe of my own!

Provided by xplorer7

Categories     Penne

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup butter
3 minced garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced parsley
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup light cream
1 egg yolk
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 lb penne pasta
12 leaves fresh spinach
1/2 small tomatoes
1 lb salmon

Steps:

  • Garlic Butter (steps 1 - 6):.
  • Completely soften 1/2 cup of butter (1 stick).
  • Melt butter and olive oil in a small saucepan.
  • Sauté minced garlic approximately three minutes until just cooked.
  • Combine garlic/butter mixture with the rest of the garlic butter ingredients.
  • Refrigerate while salmon in prepared, so that butter is somewhat soft but still holds its shape.
  • Fettuccine Sauce: (steps 7 - 10):.
  • Melt butter in saucepan and add cream and egg yolk, well beaten.
  • Heat, stirring until well thickened.
  • Add Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Main recipe: (steps 11 - 19):.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake salmon until done (allow approx 20 minutes). Alternatively, salmon may be grilled if you prefer.
  • Boil penne pasta per package instructions or to desired doneness.
  • Add washed spinach to the pasta during the last minute of cooking.
  • Pour Alfredo sauce over drained pasta and spinach, toss to coat.
  • Top pasta with diced tomatoes.
  • Top each serving with a salmon fillet.
  • Top each salmon fillet with a dollop of garlic butter.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh salmon fillets. If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • To make the pesto, use fresh basil leaves. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • To make the cream sauce, use heavy cream. If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk, but the sauce will be thinner.
  • To cook the asparagus, blanch it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until it is tender-crisp. You can also roast the asparagus in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
  • To serve, top the salmon penne with the pesto cream sauce, artichokes, and asparagus.

Conclusion:

This salmon penne with basil pesto cream sauce, artichokes, and asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the pesto cream sauce is rich and flavorful. The artichokes and asparagus add a touch of elegance to the dish.
