Recipe Tagliatelle with Fresh Salmon, Avocado and Dill

[karadekoolaid]

Ingredients:
(Serves 4)

500 gms tagliatelle (I like Di Cecco)
200 gms fresh salmon steak, cubed
1 clove garlic, minced
Olive oil
Small glass white wine (pref. Sauvignon Blanc)
2 large sprigs fresh dill
1 avocado, diced
Juice 1 lime
Salt & pepper to taste

Method:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan. When hot, add the cubed salmon and the garlic. Saute until the salmon is barely cooked, about 2-3 minutes. Add the white wine and the dill. Reduce the sauce (this will only take a minute or so)
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Dice the avocado and drizzle with lime juice
• Fill a large pan with water, add salt and bring to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook until "al dente". Drain, saving some of the pasta water.
• Return the tagliatelle to the pan and add the salmon mixture and the reserved pasta water. Mix together.
• Plate the pasta and put avocado cubes on top.

It looks very delicious, but unfortunately I am allergic to salmon

You could probably use any firm fish, although I haven't tried!

Lovely to have salmon with dill. A classic combination. Can you explain the curled reddish pink slivers which look like tagliatelle?

There are two types of tagliatelle. "Normal" and "beetroot coloured" Plus I'm a lousy photographer, so I'll admit it does look a bit like pickled ginger.
