Hot smoked salmon pasta is a delightful dish that combines the rich flavor of smoked salmon with creamy sour cream, fresh spinach, and a touch of dill for an added herbal note. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a sumptuous lunch. The blend of textures and flavors creates a meal that's both satisfying and nutritious.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped red onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Add the roughly chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
- Stir in the finely chopped dill and the lemon juice. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Gently fold in the flaked hot smoked salmon, being careful not to break it up too much. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the salmon through.
- Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Serve the hot smoked salmon pasta immediately, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Cook the pasta al dente to ensure it maintains a good texture when mixed with the sauce.
- Use high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor. Freshly smoked salmon will bring out the best taste in this dish.
- Be sure to wilt the spinach just enough so that it retains some texture and vibrant green color.
- If you like a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the onions.
- Reserve some pasta water before draining; it can be useful to adjust the consistency of the sauce if needed.
- For an extra touch of freshness, garnish the finished dish with a sprinkle of fresh dill and a lemon wedge.
This hot smoked salmon pasta is a versatile and delectable dish that can serve as a comforting main course for any occasion. The creamy sour cream, paired with the smoky salmon and bright hints of lemon and dill, creates a balance that will leave your taste buds yearning for more. Enjoy your culinary creation, and don't hesitate to make it your own by adding your favorite ingredients or spices.
