FETTUCCINE WITH SALMON, ASPARAGUS AND CAPERS IN LEMON AND DILL OIL

Salmon and dill is an unbeatable combination that has stood the test of time. In this recipe, I have included a few ingredients that are very complimentary to both the salmon and dill but still allow them to be the dominant flavors in the dish.

This recipe can be made using either smoked salmon (as I’ve done here) or fresh salmon.

So if you’re looking for something familiar yet surprisingly flavorsome for dinner, try out the recipe below and in less than an hour you’ll be enjoying this delicious Italian dish!
