REVIEW: Smoked Salmon Pasta - Trixxee - 08-26-2009
This recipe is on page 7 of the latest and greatest Weeknight Menus book. I always feel kind of silly leaving my reviews because there's not much to them, this one included. Basically made the recipe as written, no changes, and it was great! Actually, one change I would make is to add a few more capers. I think I need a little more brine to cut the cream - this recipe is very rich. And while I'm not big on leftover fish, my husband said the leftovers for lunch the next day were good.
I'd give it a 8+ or a 9. Just plan ahead and try not to eat too much salt or fat that day other than this if you are concerned with that kind of stuff.

Your review could not have been done better by anyone, Trixxee!! So keep doing it - I'm making notes on the reipe to add some more capers! And I wouldn't have known to do this without your review!!!

Ditto what Jean said! We ALL need to know when someone tries one of the recipes! GOOD OR BAD. It doesn't mean we all will try it (or not) or make the changes right off....just better prepared if we do! Isn't that what this is all about? Heck, I feel bad when I go for a long spell and DON'T review one...LOL!
THANKS AND WELL DONE! I did not have this on my A List...but now I do! Thanks to you!

Here you go, Bill -
Smoked Salmon Pasta - Weeknight Menus book #3
4 servings
"Be careful when seasoning this dish. The smoked salmon and capers both are salty, and you may find that you don't need any extra salt."
8 oz. dry bow-tie pasta (farfalle)
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1 T. olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
2 T. capers
4 oz. smoked salmon, flaked
2 T. chopped fresh dill leaves
1 tsp. lemon juice
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Bring a pot of salted water to boil for the pasta. Cook pasta according to pkg. directions.
Saute onion in oil in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3 min. Add cream and capers; cook until liquid is reduced by half.Remove skillet from heat. Stir salmon, dill, lemon juice, and cooked pasta into cream sauce; season with salt and pepper.
Note from Trixxee: taste to see if more capers needed to cut the richness of the cream.
