Pasta Rags And Warmed Salmon Recipes

RASPBERRY SALMON

Steps:

• Mash the raspberries and vinegar with a fork in a small bowl. Stir in the orange peel, orange juice, honey and wine until combined. Set aside.
• Coat a nonstick skillet with the cooking spray and place over medium heat. Cook the salmon until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully wipe away any liquid with a paper towel. Return the skillet to medium heat and add the reserved raspberry mixture. Stirring constantly, cook until just thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the sauce over the salmon and serve with asparagus on the side.

LEMON PASTA WITH SALMON

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion to melted butter mixture and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add salmon and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
• Drain pasta and add to the skillet. Stir in parsley and lemon zest. Add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add remaining oil and butter and mix until glossy.

CHICKEN CONFIT AND ASPARAGUS WITH PASTA RAGS

Steps:

• In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the pan is smoking hot, saute the asparagus, for about 5 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic, and saute for 3 minutes. Add the chicken and continue to saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the pasta into a mixing bowl. Toss the pasta with the extra-virgin olive oil and cheese. Fold in the chicken and asparagus. Add the chives and season with salt and pepper. Place the pasta in an over-sized shallow pasta platter. Garnish with 1/4 cup cheese, 2 tablespoons chives and a drizzle of truffle oil.

PASTA RAGS AND WARMED SALMON

Steps:

• Seed and dice the tomato and set aside. Cut the salmon into slivers that are paper thin and almost transparent and set aside. Bring the water to a boil and add the salt. When the water returns to the boil add the pasta and cook for between 4 to 6 minutes or until fully cooked but still with a toothy bite. Drain the pasta but reserve 1 cup of the cooking water. Do not rinse the pasta. Toss the pasta in a bowl with the olive oil, add the tomato, salmon and dill and toss again. The heat of the hot pasta will cook the thin pieces of salmon to a delicate finish. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper. If you a prefer a more liquid sauce, some of the hot pasta water may be added to moisten the dish or some whole butter may be added as well. Serve immediately.;
