Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons dill, freshly chopped
- 150 grams smoked salmon, flaked
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Lower the heat slightly. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and lemon juice. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warmed through and slightly thickened.
Add the chopped dill to the sauce, reserving a small amount for garnish. Stir well to combine.
Gently fold in the flaked smoked salmon and capers. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just until the salmon is warmed through.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with the remaining dill, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Scandinavian Noodles hot!
