Lemon Salmon Linguine

This is my replacement for the lost lemon salmon linguine recipe. It’s all done in a frying pan this time. I’ve cooked it very many times recently while trying to perfect it.

2 salmon fillets

2 oz butter

2oz (50ml) lemon juice

Chopped parsley

Salt & pepper

 

Shallow fry the salmon fillets on medium in a little oil in a heavy pan. Season each face with salt & pepper as you turn them. Cook the prettiest face first and the skin side last.

Set the salmon aside for a short rest.

In the same pan add the butter, when it is half melted add the lemon juice and stir.

Add the parsley and stir.

If it seems appropriate add a couple of spoons of hot pasta water from the linguine you should have just finished boiling.

This lemon sauce is an emulsion, it wont last more than a few seconds in the pan without separating and all the lemon flavour will boil off.

Take the pan off the heat.

Quickly take the skin off the salmon and put it on a bed of linguine (pretty side up), spoon/tip the sauce over the fish.
