About This Recipe

"This was the first piccata recipe I tried, and we love it. It's so easy to prepare. I once tried making it with fat free ingredients, and it is not as good. I only serve it occasionally, because it is so rich, so that makes it more of a treat."

Ingredients

4 cups cream ( I use Half&Half)
1/2 cup butter
1 lb salmon, cooked and flaked ( I put salmon in a pan with a very small amount water, cook covered for about 5 min., drain well, the)
1 large cucumber, peeled,seeded and finely chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill weed, chopped ( I usually use twice as much)
2 tablespoons dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon fresh lemon rind, grated
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (16 ounce) packages rotelle pasta

Directions

Heat cream and butter over very low heat until reduced by 1/2 (about 30 minutes) stirring frequently.
Add remaining ingredients, except pasta and cook for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare pasta and drain well.
To serve, pour sauce over pasta.

Reviews

"Just delicious! I cut the recipe in half, because it was just for myself and my husband, and didn't peel or seed the cucumber because I used a Japanese one without large seeds or bitter peel. I did everything else according to the recipe, though I did add some salt. But this is wonderful. I'd been looking for a creamy salmon recipe. Now I've found it. I love the combination of salmon and dill. Thank you very much, Yamma, for this recipe."
