Grilled Salmon with Tagliatelle & Fresh Snap Peas with Hot Pepper

July 13th, 2006

Here’s a favorite simple dish of mine. Works for lunch or dinner. Assemble the following ingredients:

Wild King Salmon, Fresh Snap Peas or Broccoli Rabe, Tagliatelle noodles (hand-made or high quality store-bought), Red Pepper Flakes, Clove of Garlic, Salt, Extra Virgen Olive Oil.

Take your clove of garlic and slice into several thin pieces. Heat a tablespoon or 2 of olive oil over medium high heat. Add the garlic and a tablespoon of red pepper flakes. Sautee for 1-2 minutes over medium heat until the garlic is soft, not brown. Then add your chopped up broccoli or snap peas and sautee until tender (4-8 minutes). Set aside and keep warm.

Season your King Salmon with sea salt and olive oil and either grill outdoors or on a grill pan on the stove. Cook to your desired doneness (this is just a simple grill).

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add your tagliatelle. Cook until al dente. Next add your pasta and a tablespoon of the pasta water to your sautee pan with the vegetables. Toss the pasta over medium high heat for 1-2 minutes and combine well with the other ingredients. When finished place your pasta and vegetables on a plate and lay the grilled salmon over the top.

Buon appetito!
