Ingredients

  • 110 g spaghetti no 4
  • 3 tbsp virgin olive oil
  • ½ brown onion finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves finely diced
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp white pepper
  • ½ tsp ground paprika
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes optional
  • 3 tbsp sour cream
  • 100 g smoked salmon torn into small pieces
  • 2 small dill pickles finely diced
  • 2 tbsp capers drained
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 scallion/spring onion stalks finely sliced
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill roughly chopped

Instructions

  • To cook the spaghetti, boil a large pot of water, once boiling add a pinch of salt and the whole spaghetti, cook for around 7 minutes or until al dente, then drain the pasta.
  • While the spaghetti is cooking, in a large pan or flat round-bottomed wok on medium heat, fry the onion in olive oil until soft and translucent, then add the garlic and continue to fry for another minute or so until aromatic.
  • Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and chilli flakes, combine well with the onion and garlic, then add the spaghetti and stir in the sour cream.
  • Add the salmon pieces, finely diced dill pickles, capers, and lemon juice, stirring to combine well, just long enough to warm the salmon.
  • Lastly, add the finely sliced scallions/spring onions and two tablespoons of fresh dill, taste, then adjust seasoning to your palate.
  • Distribute between two plates, drizzle on a little virgin olive oil, garnish with the remaining tablespoon of fresh dill, and, if you like a kick of heat, sprinkle on a pinch of chilli flakes or freshly ground pepper.
