Ingredients

  • 6 - 7 ounces smoked salmon (canned or packaged)
  • 8 ounces dry linguine
  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup shallots (finely diced)
  • dash of red pepper flakes
  • juice from ½ lemon
  • zest from ½ lemon
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • salt
  • ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, place in the salmon and break into small pieces with a fork. Set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water (salted) to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally. Save 1 cup pasta water. Drain pasta. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, warm up the butter and olive oil. Add shallots and cook for 8 minutes. Throw in a dash of red pepper flakes. Add lemon juice and zest. Pour in the heavy cream and ½ cup reserved pasta water. Mix well. Cook until warm. Add the salmon pieces and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the pasta. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. I used canned salmon, but you can use the regular smoked salmon that you find in the fridge of supermarket.
  2. I highly recommend using sockeye salmon, either canned or packaged. It has much more flavors!
