Thanks for checking out our smoked salmon recipes. If you want a hearty and delicious fish dish, you won’t find any that’s better than this. It is rich and comforting and so easy to make. It may just become a family favorite because it can be made quickly for weeknight dinners on the go.

The parmesan cheese has a strong flavor but it works well with the rest of the ingredients. Because all of the ingredients are easy to store you can just keep them all on hand and whip this up whenever you need a nutritious meal for yourself and your family. It can be made with spaghetti and works really well with ziti or other pasta shapes.

Ingredients:

• • 1 ½ Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (you can use other olive oils but they are not as flavorful)
• • 1 cup sweet onions, chopped finely
• • 3 finely chopped green onions (both the green and white portions)
• • 2 Tbsp prepared basil pesto (either homemade or store bought will work)
• • 2 cans of salmon (6 oz each), or leftover salmon
• • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided into two equal portions
• • 1 8oz pkg dried pasta (spaghetti, macaroni or ziti will work)

Prepare pasta by boiling in lightly salted water for 8-10 minutes or to desired texture.

Turn on burner to medium heat. Warm olive oil and add both the sweet and green onions. Stir in pesto and cook until onions are tender but not browned. Add salmon and cook until it is all heated evenly. Stir in half of the cheese, cook a further 5 minutes.

Add in cooked pasta and toss until evenly coated. Top with remaining cheese and serve.

This recipe makes 4 servings but is easy to double if you have more guests.
