Instructions
- To make the lemon and garlic sauce, add the lemon juice and zest, garlic, and walnuts to a blender. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds until smooth. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and blend again until well combined. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
- Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the capers and cook for 3 minutes, or until crisp. Transfer the capers to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Add the remaining oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add the bread and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer the bread to the same plate as the capers.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and ground black pepper. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook until fork-tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the sauce, pasta, and 1 cup of reserved pasta water to the skillet. Continue to cook, using tongs to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Stir in the salmon and watercress leaves, and toss well. To serve, transfer the pasta to a plate and top with crispy capers, bread crumbs, and extra watercress leaves.
Notes
- Recipe Adapted from Gourmet Traveller January 2004
- Use fresh wild caught salmon for the best taste. You may also use the frozen salmon fillets, and defrost them properly before cooking.
- Do not overcook the salmon. You may cook the salmon fillet in one piece or cut it into smaller pieces to reduce cooking time. Cook the salmon until the color changes from translucent to opaque pink, and when the meat becomes fork tender, please remove it from the heat immediately.
- When making the lemon and garlic sauce, you may certainly adjust the sourness by adding less lemon juice to the blender to suit your taste.
