Indulge in a delightful fusion of flavors with our Smoked Salmon Spaghetti. This recipe combines the rich taste of smoked salmon with the freshness of broccoli and a hint of lemon zest. It's a quick and nutritious meal, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Follow these steps to create a dish that's sure to impress.

Ingredients:

12 oz pasta
340g
16 oz broccoli
450g
8 oz salmon
230g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1 tsp capers
5g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Usually, this takes about 8-10 minutes.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water, and set aside.
2. Prepare the Broccoli:
- While the pasta is cooking, steam the broccoli. You can either use a steamer basket over boiling water or microwave the broccoli in a microwave-safe dish with a little bit of water for about 4-6 minutes, until tender but still bright green.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the steamed broccoli and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until it develops a slight char and releases its flavors.
- Lower the heat and add the cooked pasta, smoked salmon, lemon zest, and capers to the skillet.
- Toss everything together gently, adding some of the reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency. The water helps to create a light sauce that coats the pasta.
4. Season and Serve:
- Season the pasta mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra lemon zest or a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese if you like.

Tips:

- Use fresh or high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor.

- Cook the pasta al dente to retain a firm texture that complements the tender salmon and broccoli.

- Add a splash of pasta water to the final dish to help combine the ingredients and create a light sauce.

- Don't overcook the broccoli; it should be tender but still have a slight crunch.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon zest to suit your taste preferences.

With its vibrant colors and harmonious blend of flavors, this Smoked Salmon Spaghetti is a must-try. Not only is it simple to prepare, but it's also packed with nutrients. Serve it hot and enjoy a wholesome meal that's both elegant and satisfying.
