Pasta and Salmon

, ,

I've never posted a recipe with fish, and that's a shame because I like fish. yes

So - here goes: ZRS ~ Zaphira's Recipe Service ~ proudly presents:

Zaphira's Super Easy Pasta with Salmon[/size]

(Approximately 2 servings, depending on how hungry you are)

You'll need:

200 gram of pasta (I use half whole grain pasta, half ordinary pasta)
6-8 plum tomatoes
100-150 gram Salmon (both fresh and smoked goes)
A large spoonful of fresh cream cheese
A splash of milk
Salt

(Looks really easy already, don't you think??)

Boil the pasta. While it boils I usually peel the tomatoes. If you don't mind the "skin", then don't peel them. I put them in a bowl, splash boiling water over them, take them up after a minute, and the skin peels right off. Easy! Cut them into smaller chunks.

Cut the salmon into bite-friendly pieces.

Drain the pasta when boiled. Leave it in the pot. Ad a large spoonful of fresh cream cheese - I use Philadelphia Light, but use which ever one you have. Ad a splash of milk and stir until the cheese is melted.



Instead of cheese and milk you can use cream, but be aware that it ads calories as well.

Ad the tomatoes, the salmon and a pinch of salt and heat it up.



Stir carefully, and serve. I've grated cheese over it - but that is optional. :yum:




It's really easy and delicious - and it tastes even better the day after. happy

Ummmm.......looks and sounds yummy! smile
This would be good substituting shrimp for the salmon also.

As for tasting better the next day, some people down here only cook three times a week. Just make up a mess of different stuff and warm it up as needed. Saves a lot of time over the week. up

Looks really good!

@ Phantom ~ I love this dish both because it tastes yummy and because it's really easy to cook. Shrimp would work in this too - I think it would be good with both, too. up
And yeah, it does save time to cook for more than one day at a time. What makes this better is that it gets "creamier" on day two. happy

@ Star ~ Thank you - it really is. happy

Dacotah Tuesday, October 27, 2009 5:08:24 AM

Looks good. I'd try it if you offered me some. smile
I've never really liked salmon but I think that's because it wasn't made right.

Mitthaodp Tuesday, October 27, 2009 5:18:41 AM

bigeyes :yummy: Do you know it's lunch time here? chef chef

KittyliciousZaphira Tuesday, October 27, 2009 6:05:48 AM

@ Carol ~ I'd gladly make it for you - and you're right: salmon can taste so differently depending on how it's made. smile

@ Mit ~ If I just made you even more hungry, my goal is reached! lol

Mitthaodp Tuesday, October 27, 2009 6:09:14 AM

lol You did, indeed.

KittyliciousZaphira Tuesday, October 27, 2009 6:16:22 AM

Oh goodie! happy

Dacotah Tuesday, October 27, 2009 6:21:46 AM

Awww, thank you Kitty. smile

KittyliciousZaphira Tuesday, October 27, 2009 6:22:57 AM

You're always welcome, Carol. heart

Dacotah Tuesday, October 27, 2009 6:45:19 AM

Spaggyj Tuesday, October 27, 2009 7:59:23 AM

Hmmm, I've never tried salmon with tomato. Sounds interesting chef

r♡serose-marie Tuesday, October 27, 2009 8:41:52 AM

In my opinion, fish is always better when somebody else cooks it bigsmile.

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, October 27, 2009 10:33:09 AM

And covers it in batter then serves it with chips and gravy. up

Jurjenjekav Tuesday, October 27, 2009 6:27:52 PM

This looks easy enough to try sometime! up
I think I give it a try soon smile

Freya RedFreya Tuesday, October 27, 2009 6:36:16 PM

I`m just about to cook (reheat) a Marks and Spenser`s Chicken Pie. I don`t fancy it. sad Please send me (and my friend ) 2 servings of the Zaphira`s Zuper Zalmon dish, chef ( the above Chocolate cake love would be nice as well) bigsmile

KittyliciousZaphira Tuesday, October 27, 2009 8:14:16 PM

@ Kimmie ~ Tomatoes and salmon goes very well together, in my opinion. But then again, I really like warm tomatoes. up

@ Rose ~ I almost only get fish when I cook it myself. awww

@ Mik ~ I don't think I'd like this with gravy. bigsmile

@ Angeliki ~ You're welcome. And that chocolate cake is more than welcome. heart

@ Jurjen ~ Simple, but good. Please let me know if you liked it. up

@ Freya ~ I'm sure my dish is better than a bought chicken pie (even without having tasted the pie) yes
Thanks for the nice word, they're appreciated. up

Jurjenjekav Thursday, October 29, 2009 8:31:50 PM

I made it today, and it was very nice! Simple enough to make in no-time. I'm going to make this more often. smile
Thanks for sharing happy

KittyliciousZaphira Thursday, October 29, 2009 8:34:48 PM

Oh goodie, I'm so glad that you liked it. happy

lol

It's the only way to get blokes to eat fish, Zappy. wink

Dark FurieFurie Friday, October 30, 2009 1:44:04 AM

Not the only way, just the quickest. chef

KittyliciousZaphira Friday, October 30, 2009 5:25:36 AM

Jurjen is a bloke and he just ate fish! wink

Jurjenjekav Friday, October 30, 2009 10:13:20 AM

Cleanclean Friday, October 30, 2009 10:30:13 AM

But ... but ... where's the batter? wink

Dark FurieFurie Friday, October 30, 2009 12:11:53 PM

Several hundred miles away with his penis. up

KittyliciousZaphira Friday, October 30, 2009 12:42:44 PM

Whoa, that's serious fish-catching! bigeyes How is that even possible! faint

*ignores the penis* lol

Cleanclean Friday, October 30, 2009 8:16:44 PM

* Suddenly hears George Costanza in his head yelling, "You can't ignore the penis, baby", for some disturbing reason. *

KittyliciousZaphira Friday, October 30, 2009 8:42:35 PM

*checks to see if it's full moon*

Hmm...

You're all acting surprisingly weird today! lol

MinaMinenow Saturday, October 31, 2009 5:23:34 AM

chef I want some. awww I'm sorta tipsy and I'm thinking it'll go good with my wine. bigsmile

KittyliciousZaphira Saturday, October 31, 2009 6:24:53 AM

I'm sure it would. What's the time difference between you and me? It's 7.24 in the morning here now. up

MinaMinenow Saturday, October 31, 2009 3:31:23 PM

ummmm Clint is 7 hours ahead of me. Well 8 as of tonight with Daylight Savings Time Kicking in.

I can't figure out the Opera posting time.... confused

Hope that helps.

I'm Central Time in the US

KittyliciousZaphira Saturday, October 31, 2009 3:51:18 PM

I think I'm in the same time zone as Cois! So yes that helps a lot, thanks. up

MinaMinenow Sunday, November 1, 2009 5:48:04 PM

Most welcome... now we're 8 hours apart.

crazy eh?

KittyliciousZaphira Sunday, November 1, 2009 5:49:47 PM

Yeah, that's crazy. I get up when you go to bed. Doesn't make any sense. awww

MinaMinenow Sunday, November 1, 2009 5:56:15 PM

It is pretty crazy we are on at the same time.. Could only really happen on a weekend. party

Try loving someone 8 hours away... awww

KittyliciousZaphira Sunday, November 1, 2009 5:57:40 PM

Hooray for weekends, then. party

Time difference could be worse. It could be 10 hours. Or even 12. left

MinaMinenow Sunday, November 1, 2009 6:09:22 PM

*lafs* Okay, it could be worse.. p

Optimistic as usual, Kitty. happy

I have lost a bit of my optimism the last few weeks. I keep telling myself it has to get better, but the truth is, it has gotten worse.

Babystep one more day. party

KittyliciousZaphira Sunday, November 1, 2009 6:22:25 PM

Some idiot once said that it has to be really bad until it gets good. I'm not so sure that I believe in that, but I sure hope it gets better.

I really try to be optimistic, but I must admit that it's not always that easy. smile

MinaMinenow Sunday, November 1, 2009 9:24:34 PM

I'm normally a few inches shy of being a Pollyanna. Annoyingly so.

So this dark deal I got going on is sort of freaking out people who know me.

left I can't pretend.

And thanks.. I hope it gets better soonish before I crack and they throw me into a hospital somewhere... lol

KittyliciousZaphira Sunday, November 1, 2009 9:43:05 PM

I'm not good at pretending either, so I just try to stay away from people when I feel down. smile

Ha, I was just thinking, that I find that it's when I hit the bottom I know things can only go up from here. bigsmile

MinaMinenow Sunday, November 1, 2009 9:56:14 PM

Yeah.. I think that too.. Then this week showed me there is much more that can go wrong.

Right now, after losing my credit card, my phone breaking, and getting a four day migraine, (among a host of other things) I am just hoping my car doesn't break down, because it's been acting up alot and dying for no reason. No car, no work. I drive around 80 percent of my job.

bigsmile

KittyliciousZaphira Monday, November 2, 2009 4:32:40 AM

Okay, that's a lot of bad things happening at once. irked
I'll cross my fingers and toes and send out positive energy that your car will keep working!!
*hugs* heart

MinaMinenow Monday, November 2, 2009 5:18:42 AM

*lafs* Thanks Kitty.

I will send you some so you really enjoy your nice easy week. bigsmile

KittyliciousZaphira Monday, November 2, 2009 6:49:57 AM

Cool - I appreciate that! yes

MinaMinenow Tuesday, November 3, 2009 2:54:42 AM

happy love

How's it going so far? p

KittyliciousZaphira Tuesday, November 3, 2009 5:48:03 AM

Slow but steady. Tries to tidy up as well and toss old things that I don't use. bigsmile

MinaMinenow Tuesday, November 3, 2009 3:39:11 PM

It always ends up a huger mess in the middle than imagined, but accomplishing it always feels amazing.

Something about getting rid of clutter that seems to free the mind too.... up Wish I could be there to help. *smiles*

KittyliciousZaphira Sunday, November 8, 2009 1:58:16 PM

The feet... left

Well... I am glad you enjoyed! up

KittyliciousZaphira Monday, November 9, 2009 5:16:19 AM

No problem at all! smile
