A quick and delicious Healthier Smoked Salmon Linguine, perfect for busy weeknights, blending smoky richness and creamy texture in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Linguine Pasta (Can use spaghetti or fettuccine as substitutes)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (Can use half-and-half for a lighter option)
  • 2 Tbsp Butter (Olive oil can be used for a lighter taste)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (Sauté briefly to avoid burning)
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice (Fresh is preferred; adjust to taste)
  • 8 oz Cold-Smoked Salmon (Avoid hot-smoked or canned varieties)
  • 2 Tbsp Capers (Olives can be used for a different flavor profile)
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley (Chives or dill can also complement the dish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water and drain the rest.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat until bubbly. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle boil, then add lemon juice and reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the drained linguine to the creamy sauce, tossing to ensure every strand is coated.
  5. Fold in flaked smoked salmon and capers, heating for about 1 minute.
  6. Serve the linguine on plates, garnished with parsley.

Notes

  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
