My family quite likes my smoked salmon pasta; usually there is a fight between my son and I who gets to take the leftovers the next day. Very simple to make.

One serving of the white sauce (bechamel) is 2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp flour and 1 cup milk. Multiply the ingredients by the number of people you are serving (i.e. for my family of 4, the ratio is 8,8,4)    

Make a garlic roux (melted butter and flour) by sauteeing several cloves of crushed garlic as you melt the butter and before you add the flour. After you add the milk and just when it starts to thicken , add a generous helping of smoked salmon (I use smoke trout too) in chunks and flakes. As you stir the thickening white sauce, the wonderful smokiness of the fish will infuse the sauce and it takes on a pink hue.

Spoon over your favourite pasta (I prefer penne) and enjoy!

Ill have to try this one out. I make one as well with a sauce of cream cheese, a little cream, fresh dill and capers with smoked salmon. Penne is also my choice of pasta.

You are welcome. I made a batch last week with smoked pink that I had vacuum packed from 2011. The kids and my wife raved about it, and then devoured it. No leftovers!

Tried this recipe with some smoked pink salmon, it was excellent. I used a bit less flour, and a bit more butter..but pretty much the same. Wish I had more fish to smoke. Tastes a lot like carbonnara and very good for people who "don't eat fish".

I prefer linguini or fettucini.

Made a Fetuccini with some of the leftover smoked Turkey and it was very good as well.
Have some candied backbones that I will scrape the meat from and use in a pasta and other things.

So after you fillet/prepare the fish for smoking, you also brine and smoke the backbone? Interesting. I like it...

Sounds like a good idea. I'm going to give it a try as well. I used to save my backbones and make fish cakes using this recipe:

Though I'm desperate for smoked salmon with only one chum left in the freezer
