Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams linguine
- 200 grams smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 small shallots
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons capers (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
While the pasta cooks, finely dice the shallots and garlic. Chop the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and butter until melted. Add the shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, ensuring it does not burn.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until it melts into the cream, forming a smooth sauce.
Stir in the lemon zest, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Add the smoked salmon to the skillet, stirring gently to combine. Allow it to warm through for about 1 minute.
Toss the cooked linguine into the skillet with the sauce, using tongs to mix thoroughly. If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is achieved.
Optionally, mix in the capers for a burst of tangy flavor.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional dill or grated Parmesan if desired. Enjoy your Linguine with Smoked Salmon!
