Wild Caught Salmon Pasta With Asparagus And Cream Sauce

Wild Caught Salmon Pasta With Asparagus And Cream Sauce

Spring is coming, but it’s not quite here yet. The weather here in northern New Mexico has started to warm up after all the snow we had recently, but it’s still that time of year where you’re not one hundred percent sure that there won’t be another cold snap. Nonetheless, we’re all thoroughly enjoying the warmer weather and sunshine. This delightful salmon pasta is undoubtedly the perfect fit for the cusp of winter into spring - creamy and warm, yet fresh and lively. Crisp, green asparagus, capers and a squeeze of lemon are the perfect balance to the rich sauce and flaky, flavorful salmon. Feel free to substitute the asparagus for whatever vegetables you have on hand - personally, I wish I had had some juicy cherry tomatoes in my kitchen to throw in.

Wild Caught Salmon Pasta With Asparagus And Cream Sauce - Beck & Bulow

Wild Caught Salmon From Fishermen We Know By Name


All of our fish are caught using a hook and fishing line. They never go through the machinery that salmon canneries use, which negatively affects the taste and texture of the fish. Most commercially caught fish also sit around on the boat before being bled out, which negatively affects the taste and quality of the meat. These salmon are bled right away on the boat, resulting in the most premium and flavorful salmon you can get. They’re then pressure sealed and flash frozen at the peak of freshness.


With these methods, having our flash frozen salmon delivered to you is actually highly preferable to buying fresh, unfrozen salmon unless you happen to be or live next door to a skilled fisherman. And even if that’s the case, the waters we source from off the Alaskan coast are some of the most pristine on the planet, making it very unlikely to find better fish anywhere else.

Coho salmon, also known as silver salmon, have a medium oil content but regardless are considered one of the best tasting varieties. Many who prefer a milder, lighter tasting salmon prize the coho above all others. Their significant oil content makes this variety flaky and buttery. Anyone who loves salmon but prefers a more subtle flavor will find that coho is a perfect fit. This variety of salmon is perfect for adding into pasta dishes.

Instructions:



  1. Cook your pasta of choice according to the instructions on the package. Strain the package and set aside.
  2. Heat ghee in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Sauté the asparagus until it’s tender but still crisp and green. Set aside.
