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. Usually, this takes about 8-10 minutes.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water, and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
