Easiest-Ever Salmon Pasta

I arrived home from the Sophie Elgort event around 9:30, half-starving, only to find my husband in the same condition…and almost nothing in our refrigerator. We did, however, have the four ingredients I needed to make this ridiculously simple salmon pasta.

Just rub a large piece of salmon (1 piece is fine for two people) with a little good-quality olive oil (maybe adding a squeeze of lemon), season to taste, and then place on a foil-lined baking sheet in a 350F oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Add a generous serving of farfalle (or whatever you have in your cupboard) to a large pot of salted boiling water, and cook according to package directions. Drain pasta, return to pot, and throw in about a cup of peas and the flaked salmon (just use a fork to gently pull it apart, discarding the skin). Toss it all together with some vodka sauce (I used Newman’s Own because it was getting on towards 10PM – and because I like Newman’s Own – but if you’re so inclined, this is a nice, simple recipe for the homemade stuff).

    Hey Jordan!

    I'm a huge fan of simple pasta recipes as well. And I thought you might want to try my favorite: It's Giada De Laurentiis' Lemon Spaghetti

    (I usually use quite a bit less olive oil then the recipe calls for)

    If you're a fan of lemon, you should definitely give it a try!

    I'm not the world's best or most intuitive cook and, I have to say, when I tried one of Giada's recipes (angel hair with tomato and goat cheese), it came out perfectly. She's wonderful for simple dishes. I might give this lemon one a try someday.

    Ha! The time stamp on my comment shows up in Spanish. (O minutos atrás.) I appreciate that your blog is bilingual, Jordan.

    How is this a “recipe” exactly?

    Cook salmon. Cook pasta. Open jar. Mix.
    Thank goodness for you, or we'd all go hungry.
