Cold pasta with fresh salmon with tomatoes and lemon

Today a recipe wildcard, summer and really good: Cold pasta with fresh salmon with tomatoes and lemon. This pasta salad recipe is a wild card because you can serve this pasta is cool, as I have seen temperatures, it just made it warm. Is’ a great pasta in every way and, if you decide to serve cold, you can easily prepare it well in advance. A pact draining the pasta al dente. And if you look for other pasta salads or rice, having regard to the hot temperatures, have a look at all my OF SALAD RECIPES PASTA AND RICE.

I know the salmon and cream combination is very popular, but I do not love him at all because it seems too sweet. I find instead of this recipe for salmon pasta without cream is light and tasty, thanks to the acidity of the tomatoes.

The tomato confit, a joker in the kitchen

The tomatoes are cooked in the pan so you get a kind of tomato confit, but without turning on the oven. Is’ important that lesiniate on extra virgin olive oil in cooking tomatoes. And still, the fire is very low (I use the smaller one to a minimum) and never touch them, so they can caramelize thanks to the pinch of sugar and dry. If you want, you can also store tomatoes confit in olive oil, putting into the jar also some capers and a few bay leaves. And obviously it is following the correct procedure for the sterilization of the cans.

I opted for this solution because in the summer I try to turn on the oven as little as possible, but I found them so good that they are unable to abandon them.

You will see that you will get a kind of tomato confit, soft but substantial, with a nice acidity and great taste.

Brown the onion in a pan in olive oil and a little water until it is slightly wilted, then add the salmon, add salt and skip the fish for a few seconds on high heat.

Add tomatoes cooked before salmon and skip the pasta in the pan with the tomato sauce and salmon, maintaining with a little cooking water.
