Combine Pasta and Sauce
Fold in Salmon and Serve
Stir in a few handfuls of fresh spinach or baby arugula at the end until just wilted. Sautéed mushrooms or steamed asparagus also work well.
Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes along with the garlic for a gentle kick of heat.
While dill is classic, you can experiment with other fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or a small amount of tarragon.
For a smokier, flakier texture, try using hot-smoked salmon instead of cold-smoked (lox-style) salmon.

Salmon provides high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, muscle maintenance, and supporting overall body function.
This dish is a good source of B vitamins, particularly B12, B6, and niacin, from the salmon. These vitamins are vital for energy production, creating red blood cells, and maintaining a healthy nervous system.
A serving of this Smoked Salmon Pasta contains approximately 740-760 calories, depending on the specific ingredients used, particularly the fat content of the heavy cream and salmon.
This dish can be part of a balanced diet. It's a good source of protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids from the salmon. However, it is also high in calories, fat, and sodium due to the cream and smoked salmon. Enjoy it in moderation.
Both cold-smoked salmon (the silky, thinly sliced type, also known as lox) and hot-smoked salmon (which is flakier, like cooked fish) work well. Cold-smoked salmon will give a more delicate texture, while hot-smoked salmon provides a smokier flavor and heartier flakes.
This pasta is best served immediately, as cream sauces can separate and the pasta can become mushy upon reheating. If you must make it ahead, store the sauce and pasta separately and combine them when reheating gently on the stove with a splash of milk or cream.
Yes, you can substitute the heavy cream with a full-fat oat milk cream or a cashew cream. Use a dairy-free butter or olive oil instead of unsalted butter. The flavor profile will be slightly different but still delicious.
