Salmon Pasta Skillet Recipes

LEMON DILL SALMON PASTA

Steps:

• Boil a salted pot of water for your pasta. Cook it al dente according to package directions. I suggest starting the sauce once the water's boiling.
• Season the salmon with salt & pepper and coat it in the flour.
• Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon and cook it for 2 minutes/side, then take the fish out of the pan and set it aside.
• Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and garlic to the pan. Let it bubble for about 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium.
• Add the cream, dill, and salmon back into the pan. Break the fish up with your spoon into bite-size pieces. Cook it for a few more minutes until it's cooked through and the sauce has reduced and thickened a bit.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Toss it & serve immediately with parsley and parmesan cheese if desired.

SALMON PASTA WITH GARLIC CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain.
• While the pasta boils, prepare the sauce. Toss the salmon in flour.
• Melt butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add salmon and saute for 1 minute. Add garlic, onion, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook until garlic is golden and mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in white wine, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet as you stir.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half. Add cream and reduce to a medium consistency. Stir in frozen peas and cook for 1-2 more minutes, or until heated through. Remove from heat.
• Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

SALMON PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the broiler. Put fennel seeds in a small, self-sealing plastic bag, and crush with a rolling pin. Add parsley, brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper to the bag, and shake to mix.
• Press the mixture onto the skinless side of the salmon. Broil salmon, skin side down, until it is no longer red in the center, about 8 minutes.
• Flake the fish with a fork. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 13 minutes. Reserve about 1/2 cup cooking water, and drain pasta. Return it to the warm pot, add spinach, and toss.
• In a bowl, mix together sour cream, lemon juice to taste, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons pasta water.
• Put pasta on plates, top with salmon, and drizzle with the sour-cream mixture. Or simply toss pasta and spinach in the pot with the salmon and the sour-cream mixture, adding pasta water as needed, and serve.

CAST IRON SKILLET SEARED SALMON

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry with a paper towel and set in a baking dish, skin-side down. Sprinkle with garlic-pepper seasoning and dill. Turn fillets over and generously rub salt all over the skin only. Cover baking dish and set on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over high heat until it just starts to smoke. Reduce heat to medium-high and add butter. As soon as butter melts, add fillets, skin-side down. Cover the skillet, and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 9 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove fillets with a metal spatula and serve immediately.
