Variations and Alternatives

If you’re looking for a healthier option, you can whip up a delicious salmon pasta wihout heavy cream. Alternatively, you can use a vegan cream as a substitute. If you prefer, you can opt for fresh salmon and ensure to season it generously with salt and pepper while cooking. To switch up the flavors, you can replace the chives with dill, fennel, or pink pepper berries according to your taste preferences. For an added burst of flavor, you can even smoke the salmon after browning it, by adding a splash of whiskey or vodka.

Tips

To infuse the cream with the smoky goodness of the salmon, simply warm it by bringing it close to boiling. Be careful not to overcook the cream, as it can dry out if left for too long. It’s crucial to season the pasta al dente with the sauce, as this allows the starch in the pasta to meld with the sauce, creating a luxuriously creamy texture. Remember to garnish with freshly chopped chives right before serving for an extra burst of flavor.

Storage

The Creamy Salmon Pasta will keep in the refrigerator inside an airtight container for up to one day. We do not recommend that it be frozen.
