Valentine's Daze

Tonight, we have a special valentine's day recipe that I made this year.  This one moves really quickly, if you don't want to ruin the salmon, so stay on your toes.

Ingredients:
Smoked Salmon
Egg Noodles
1 lemon
Cilantro
olive oil

Directions:

  • Boil a pot of water for the pasta
  • Cook the pasta
    • If you need better directions than that, maybe you shouldn't be trying this recipe right now.  Start with Chef Boyardee.
  • Zest the lemon and chop a few pieces of cilantro.  Add the cilantro and lemon zest and oil to a frying pan and put on low heat (1-2).
  • Slice, or pull apart, the salmon into smaller pieces.  This will help it distribute more evenly throughout the pasta.
  • When the pasta is just about done, add the pieces of smoked salmon to the pan.  Be careful, anything more than the lightest of sears will overcook the thin slices of smoked salmon.  It's okay if it's not cooked all the way through, it's already been smoked.  We just want to heat it up and infuse some of the flavor.
  • Drain the pasta and add the oil/cilantro/lemon/salmon mixture.
  • Sir (or madam), mix.  A lot.
  • Enjoy!
