I like to serve this delicious pasta dish featuring salmon, scallops and shrimp with crusty Italian bread!
- 1 lb. penne
- 2 tbs. olive oil
- 2 tbs. butter
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 shallots
- 1 lb. piece of salmon
- 2 leeks
- 1/2 lb. of shrimp
- 1/2 lb. of scallops
- a handful of fresh parsley
- a handful of fresh green onions
- salt & pepper
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 2 tsp. pesto
- Fresh lemon
- 1/2 cup light cream
Clean and wash the shrimps
and scallops. Cover them with water and the juice of one lemon and let them
rest. Remove the skin from the salmon and cut into chunks and set aside.
Chop up the onion, shallot,
garlic, leek and parsley. Heat up the olive oil and butter on a heavy
skillet. Add the shallots and onions. Add the garlic once the
shallots and onions become translucent.
Cook the garlic for about 30
seconds and add the salmon. After a minute, add the leeks and half of the
parsley and green onions. Cook them for another minute or so.
Drain the shrimp and scallops
and add them to the salmon. Season everything with salt and pepper and add the
oregano and red pepper flakes. Cook covered for about 5 minutes, until the
shrimp turn pink all over and the seafood is cooked. Slowly pour and stir in
the cream.
Add the cooked pasta and
incorporate. Top each plate with a dollop of pesto and squeezed fresh lemon and
serve.
