PASTA WITH SMOKED SALMON AND CAPERS
Another classic combination, this dish makes people think you went to a lot of trouble. Actually it's quite simple. Any shape of pasta works, but I prefer a small noodle such as shells or bowties. Despite what an Italian might otherwise recommend, I like to serve this dish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, but not browned. Add the smoked salmon and continue cooking just until the salmon turns opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cream and add the capers. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Be careful how much salt you add because the smoked salmon and capers are both salty. Add the pasta and toss to coat. If there doesn't appear to be enough sauce, add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it down. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

SMOKED SALMON AND CAPER TEA SANDWICH
These trim little sandwiches are an elegant picnic food. They are made with a slick of cream cheese, which holds the sandwiches together and keeps the bread from getting soggy; packed snugly into a box lined with a tea towel spritzed with water, they won't dry out either.

Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Mix sour cream, onion, capers, chopped parsley and pepper in medium bowl. Season to taste with salt. (Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Place salmon on platter. Arrange bread slices around salmon. Garnish with parsley sprigs and serve with sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Fresh, high-quality salmon is essential for this dish. Look for salmon that is firm and has a bright pink color. Avoid salmon that is dry or has a dull color.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook the salmon just until it is opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality champagne. The champagne in this sauce adds a delicious flavor to the dish. Use a champagne that you enjoy drinking on its own.
- Don't be afraid to add a little spice. A pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes can add a nice kick to this dish.
- Serve the pasta 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.
