There’s no better dish for the Great Northwest than Salmon, and no better way to prepare it than this quick and easy recipe.  Broccoli is best, but feel free to substitute any veggies you happen to have around.

Ingredients: 

  • 8 oz uncooked linguine
  • 1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 pound fully cooked salmon, flaked
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 3 Tbsp minced fresh basil or 1 Tbsp dried basil
  • 2 Tbsp capers, drained
  • 2 tsp grated lemon peel

Preparation:

  1. Cool linguine according to package directions, adding broccoli during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute.  Stir in cream and lemon juice.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly.
  3. Add salmon, salt and pepper; heat through. Drain linguine and broccoli; add to skillet.  Stir in cheese, basil, capers and lemon peel.
