Pasta, sauce and fish.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Salmon in a dill and basil butter sauce with pasta
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This recipe serves two hungry fat blobbers.

You will need (foodwise)

2 portions of Salmon (any white fish would do)
Pasta for 2 (I prefer fusili for this)
A little milk
Some plain flour
Light olive oil (sunflower will do)
Chilli oil (non-bitty)
Basil (finely chopped -- or dried)
Dill weed (v. finely chopped)
1 OXO Vegetable cube
A little runny honey

Method:

Clean the salmon, filleting if need be (you can do this later,
but it's so much easier if you start with boneless).
Place salmon onto some tinfoil and drizzle with chilli oil.
Sprinkle basil on and rub into the fish. Wash your hands now or
you'll have chilli problems later.

Now drizzle a bit of honey over the salmon and wrap it up.

Put the pasta in a pot and cover with water, start to cook.
Pop the salmon into a steamer and start to steam it. You can
poach it if you're careful not to let too much water into the packet.
Popping it into the oven is possible, but be careful.

In another pan, prepare a simple white sauce by putting in some flour
(about 2 heaped tablespoons) and enough olive oil that when you mix it
up, it forms a smooth runny paste. Now add milk slowly until you have enough
sauce to coat the pasta.

Add Dill and the vege OXO cube now, and turn on the heat. keep whisking this
until it thickens into a strong sauce, then add a little cold water, take
off the heat and whisk until it is well mixed.

Once the pasta is done, drain it and leave to one side.

take out the salmon from the steamer, open the packet and pour off the
liquid, which will be rich with basil chilli and fish, into the sauce. With a
fork, flake the salmon into small bits. (not too small, but nicely sized) -
drizzle a little more honey over the salmon and re-wrap it, popping it back
into the steamer for a short while longer.

Whisk the sauce again, and reintroduce to a very low heat.

after a few minutes, get the salmon out of the steamer, and unwrapping it,
add it to the sauce. Now mix the sauce well, so that all the salmon breaks
up and gets coated in the sauce. Finally, add the pasta to the sauce and mix
it until it all gets coated in salmon and sauce.

Warm the meal to the desired temperature -- the author prefers it slightly
less than steaming hot :) -- serve into two bowl and eat.

Delish :)
