Salmon and Pasta (Quick & Easy Dish)

Here's a dish that is perfect for those nights when you have no time to cook or when you just want a delicious dinner.

Because salmon is an oily fish, it freezes well so if you keep it on hand along with some marinara sauce and cream, dinner can be ready in the time it takes to boil water and cook the pasta!

P.S. It is a perfect company dish!

The ingredients:

5 oz. penne pasta
8 oz. fresh salmon
1/2 cup marinara sauce, preferably homemade
1/2 cup heavy cream
Basil leaves

Salt

Hi Betty,

I remember, along time ago, having a delicious salmon dish at Chez Vous. I am doing Pot Luck in November and considering a salmon entree. Any ideas?  JCW

Hi,
Memory fails me as to what that dish may have been, but my current version is to use an orange/ginger sauce made by Iron Chef which I find in the Asian section.  I just roast it at 425 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness and brush it generously with the sauce a couple of times during the cooking.  If I do this for a large group, I cut the fish into serving sized portions first in which case it will cook more quickly and evenly.  Hope this helps,  Betty

That sounds perfect and very doable.  JCW
