I found this in an old booklet by Barilla brand pasta. I'd had it forever, when I came across it, and found quite a few gems! This is really great, simple too! This is great when you just want something simple but full of flavor.Tortiglioni is a little larger around than penne and is ribbed so that the salmon and other ingredients will get collected in the nooks and crannies! Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) salmon steaks, about 1-inch thick |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
1/4 cup fresh dill (dried will work, but adjust accordingly) |
4 cups onions, thinly sliced wedges |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 lb tortiglioni |
1 cup reserved pasta-cooking water |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Sprinkle the salmon steaks generously with salt and pepper.
3. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon fresh dill.
4. Broil until salmon is browned, about 8 minutes.
5. Carefully turn and broil until cooked throughout, about 2 minutes.
6. Cool slightly. Remove the skin and bone.
7. Break the salmon into 1-inch chunks.
8. Meanwhile, cook the onion in the olive oil in a covered, large deep skillet over medium-low heat until golden(caramelized), about 15 minutes.
9. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in plenty of boiling, salted water until firm to the bite.
10. Ladle out 1 cup of the pasta-cooking liquid.
11. Remove from the heat and add 1 cup of cold water to stop the cooking; drain.
12. Add pasta to the skillet and mix with the caramelized onion and as much of the pasta-cooking liquid as needed to keep the mixture moist.
13. Add the salmon and the remaining lemon juice and dill.
