Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon skin removed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 10 ounces pasta casarecce, penne or your favorite pasta noodle
- 3/4 pound asparagus tough ends trimmed, remaining diced into 1 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 shallot thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 lemon zested and juiced
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package instructions, draining and rinsing as necessary. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salmon evenly with salt and pepper. Add salmon to skillet and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side, until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of filet registers 145 degrees F. Remove from heat, transfer to a sheet of foil and wrap to keep warm, set aside. Flake salmon into large chunks.
- Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus, shallots and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is tender and onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and stir for one minute. Add wine and deglaze the pan, stirring occasionally, until liquid is partially reduced, about 1 minute.
- Add stock, 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking water and cream cheese. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring to melt the cream cheese, then let sit, undisturbed for 1 minute. Stir in cooked pasta, Parmesan, heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice and parsley. Remove from heat, add cooking water 1 tablespoon at a time until pasta is well coated and desired consistency is reached. Cover to keep warm.
- Divide pasta mixture evenly between bowls and top with salmon pieces. Drizzle with additional olive oil before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Storing: Leftovers are best stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. However, if the salmon and pasta are stored separately, the pasta will keep for 4-5 days in an airtight container. As for the salmon, after two days, use your best judgment.
- Freezing: Freezing leftovers is not recommended.
