SMOKED SALMON PASTA WITH SCOTCH
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place penne pasta in the pot, cook 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion until tender. Pour in the fish stock and white wine, and cook until reduced by 1/2.

- In a large bowl, toss the cooked penne pasta with the salmon mixture. Season with pepper, and top with Parmesan cheese and parsley to serve.

SCOTCH WHISKY SALMON
Recipe developed for ZWT6 to reflect the flavor of Great Britain. As a scotch lover, I had to find a way to incorporate it into my marinade :) This works best with a single malt rather than a milder blend. Cheers!

SCOTCH SALMON
I found this recipie in a magazine distributed by the local liquor store. It's a nice change for salmon fillets if you can afford to part with the quality Scotch Whiskey.

Steps:
- Season salmon with salt and pepper.
- Mix garlic, parsley and 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil; rub salmon with mixture.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat.

- Add mushrooms to pan and sauté until browned.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Look for fish that is bright pink in color and has a firm texture.
- Make sure the salmon is properly thawed before cooking. If the salmon is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.
- Season the salmon simply with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as dill, lemon zest, or garlic powder.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Baste the salmon with melted butter or olive oil while it is cooking. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
- Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through. The fish should be opaque and flaky when it is done.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.

Scotch salmon is a delicious and versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are grilling, baking, or pan-frying salmon, following these tips will help you to create a perfect dish.
