Salmon Neptune

Easy, quick, light, and very stimulating, this is the ideal dish for impetuous lovers. Remember that the pasta must be cooked al dente; otherwise, it’s like eating worms.

Ingredients

1 pound fresh salmon

Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons lemon juice

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 sprig fresh dill

1/2 pound angel hair pasta

1 large tomato, quartered

2 tablespoons minced cilantro

3 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Preparation

Season the fish with salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a little olive oil, and place the dill on top. If you do not have a utensil for steam cooking, better buy one fast, but for now you can improvise by placing a large colander inside a large pot containing a few inches of water. Only the steam should reach the fish. Cook for approximately 15 minutes. The salmon should be nearly raw inside.

As the fish is cooking, start to boil 8 cups of water for the pasta. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and salt to the water. Remove the fish from the colander, set aside the dill, and cut the salmon into small pieces. Cook the angel hair pasta in the boiling water for only a few minutes, al dente. Remove from the heat and drain well. Mix with the salmon, tomato, cilantro, and chives. Season with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
