Recipe for tagliatelle with salmon

Preparation

  • - Marinate salmon.
    The first step is to remove salmon skin and cut its meat into cubes.
    Put them in a bowl.
    Squeeze oranges and cover fish cubes with orange juice.
    Add 2 tablespoons chives, cover your bowl and let fish marinate for at least an hour.

Cooking

    While you are cooking tagliatelle in abundant salt water, you have to prepare its sauce.
    Transfer fish together with all its marinating juice into a non-stick frying pan.
    Season to taste with salt and cook over a medium heat, stirring now and then, about 10 minutes.
    Your sauce must not be too thick.

Note

Tips

  • - Buying salmon, choose fillets to have better results. Prefer wild salmon and not farmed salmon.
  • - Generally in Italy if we have some pasta left, we warm it up with excellent results. In this case I suggest not to warm up your tagliatelle combined with marinated salmon. So cook the right amount.

Menu planning

  • - You can choose salmon tagliatelle in your daily menu as main dish or in a dinner party with other courses.
    It's ideal for fish menu, in a meal, buffet-style, eg.

Healthy eating

  • - If you choose this salmon tagliatelle for your family menu you have to consider the presence of salmon and the protein amount. So combine it only with a vegetable dish. Raw or cooked vegetables dressed only with a teaspoon of olive oil per head. Another choice: complete your meal with fresh fruits.
    Here are the doses per head: 60g (2.1 ounces) pasta, 100g (3 1/2 ounces) fresh salmon, 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, aromatic herbs and 1 medium-size orange.
  • - This is a tomato-free sauce. So it's ideal for people who can't eat tomatoes.
