Recipe

Smoked Salmon Vermicelli

Yield
6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, cut into half-moons
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • About 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • About 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. vermicelli
  • 8 oz. hot- or cold-smoked salmon, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large, high-sided frying pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and cook, stirring, until onion is soft but not browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in cream, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until mixture has thickened slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add pasta to water and cook according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water.

  3. 3

    Add salmon to cream mixture and stir to combine. Pour pasta into frying pan with salmon-cream mixture and toss to coat, adding some of the cooking water as needed to moisten pasta. Add parsley and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
