With lightly salted salmon in lemon cream sauce
This pasta recipe with salted red fish will make you look at the traditional dish in a new way. Citrus notes make the lemon cream sauce very interesting. And in general, the contrast of pasta with lightly salted salmon and the thick sauce literally enveloping the ingredients is simply delicious!
Ingredients:
- Paste – 400 g;
- Lightly salted salmon – 250 g;
- Cream – 250 ml;
- Lemon juice – 60 ml;
- Onion – 1 piece;
- Olive oil – 2-3 tablespoons;
- Butter – 50 g;
- Provençal herbs – 1 and ½ tsp.
To prepare this pasta with lightly salted red fish, it is better to use a wide variety of pasta, such as tagliatelle or fettuccine. Flat strips of egg noodles with a rough structure absorb thick sauce faster and better and “hold” its aroma longer.
Preparation:
- Boil pasta according to package instructions.
- Finely chop the onion and fry it in olive oil until golden brown.
- Add butter, cream and lemon juice, simmer the contents of the saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes.

This is how, in literally 15 minutes, you can prepare an original and incredibly tasty dish that will delight all fans of Mediterranean cuisine. You can diversify the taste of the original creamy lemon sauce by adding red caviar to it. This variation of the recipe is quite often found on the menu of local establishments. Of course, it’s difficult to call a budget pasta with red fish and caviar, but due to the bursting eggs, the sauce acquires an unusual texture and a pleasant salty taste.
