This week's Wednesday with Donna Hay recipe was Lemon and Dill Smoked Salmon Pasta, chosen by Chaya. This dish comprised spaghetti, coated with lemon juice and olive oil, and mixed in with smoked salmon, green onion, capers and dill (I skipped the mint).
The first night that I ate this, I was rather overwhelmed by the strong flavour of the smoked salmon; I enjoyed it much better the second day, when I zapped it in the microwave to heat it up, thereby cooking the salmon and toning down the flavour.
I am not a huge fan of smoked salmon, so this is not likely to be a regular a my place; however, if you love the flavour of smoked salmon, this may be a perfect dish for your repertoire, as it is relatively quick and fuss free to make.
Tomorrow, go see what Kayte, Chaya and Margaret thought of this dish.
Next week: Hummingbird slice
Before we go, the lovely Mireia of Baking in Spain awarded me the Versatile Blogger award:
Thanks Mireia! The rules of the award are:

Rather than naming 15 bloggers, I am going to share this award with all the lovely bloggers that I visit regularly - you make my day.
I've recently developed a fondness for smoked salmon. Pretty much only on bagels with all the trimmings. This pasta dish seems like it is similarly flavored and sounds like something I would like.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the award, the loaf looks great too :)
ReplyDeleteThis salmon pasta looks delicious, especially with the idea of the dill. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I'd really like this as I really love salmon. It looks really good!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try pilates!
ReplyDeleteThe salmon pasta looks delicious. Congrats on your award. Your holiday sounds like it will be fabulous! xx
ReplyDeleteLooks like mine...we must have done it all right! Mark loved it, so was happy to provide him with a nice dinner and some lunch tomorrow as well...those were big servings! Here's my post: http://grandmaskitchentable.typepad.com/grandmas_kitchen_table/2012/04/wednesday-with-donna-hay-lemon-and-dill-smoked-salmon-pasta.html
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the cake next week!
It looks good, but I am with you on the smoked salmon. We got hooked on the BBC series Sherlock Holmes earlier this year and now we want to watch the past seasons.
ReplyDeleteI like unsmoked salmon, but smoked can be pretty overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteLove your random facts
ReplyDeleteI loved sherlock holmes on the bbc too but I saw a couple and then I think I didn't see when they were on again (if it is the martin freeman series).
That is the first time I have heard someone talk about a dog bite as making them feel included in a family rather than as a pain :-)
