Salmon Tomato Pasta (No Cream)
Description
Salmon Tomato Pasta (No Cream) combines pan-seared diced salmon with aromatic chili and garlic, enhanced by briny olives and capers. White wine is added and briefly reduces, releasing flavor and deglazing the pan before fresh diced tomatoes and basil simmer to form the sauce.
The tagliatelle, cooked to a firm but tender texture, joins the sauce to absorb these savory, tangy flavors during a final toss. The absence of cream keeps the dish lighter while preserving a rich, herbaceous finish.
This dish is suitable for a quick dinner with a slight kick from chili and a pleasant balance of acidity and seafood that pairs well with a crisp white wine.
Ingredients
- 120 g salmon filet
- 100 g tagliatelle
- 1 garlic
- 1/2 Chili pepper
- 40 g olive
- 20 g capers
- 50 ml white wine
- 200 g diced tomatoes
- 30 ml olive oil
- 6 basil leaves
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to boil, add the pasta, and cook until al dente.
- Slice the chili peppers with the garlic and sauté in a drizzle of olive oil in a hot pan over a medium-high heat to release their fragrance. Dice the salmon and add to the pan along with the olives and capers.
- Sauté for a few minutes, then pour in the white wine. Don't be alarmed if the food flambés; the flames will quickly die down. Finally, add the tomatoes and chopped basil and let it simmer.
- Once the pasta is ready, remove from the water using tongs and add it directly to the salmon sauce in the pan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes over a high heat.
