Ingredients: (serves: 2)

  • 200 g tagliatelle

  • 2 VÅRLAKS salmon fillets

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 small shallot (finely chopped)

  • 1 clove garlic (minced)

  • 100 ml cooking cream

  • 50 ml white wine (optional)

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tbsp fresh dill (finely chopped)

  • Salt & black pepper

  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta
    Cook the tagliatelle in salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Reserve a small cup of pasta water, then drain.
  • Prepare the salmon
    Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper.
    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the salmon for 3–4 minutes per side until just done. Remove from the pan and gently flake into chunks.
  • Make the sauce
    In the same pan, sauté the shallot for 2–3 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook briefly. Deglaze with white wine (if using) and let it reduce slightly.
    Add the cream, lemon zest and lemon juice. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Combine
    Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, along with a splash of reserved pasta water if needed.
    Gently fold in the salmon and fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve
    Divide over plates and finish with extra dill, lemon slices or Parmesan if desired.
