Tips
- - Buying salmon, choose fillets to have better results. Prefer wild salmon and not farmed salmon (read more on our blog)
- - Generally in Italy if we have some pasta left we warm it up with excellent results. In this case we suggest not to warm up your tagliatelle combined with marinated salmon. Cook the right amount.

Healthy eating
- - If you choose this salmon tagliatelle for your family menu you have to consider the presence of salmon and the protein amount. So combine it only with a vegetable dish. Raw or cooked vegetables dressed only with a teaspoon of olive oil per head. Another choice: complete your meal with fresh fruits.
Here are the doses per head: 60g (2.1 ounces) pasta, 100g (3 1/2 ounces) fresh salmon, 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, aromatic herbs and 1 medium-size orange. - - This is a tomato-free sauce. So it's ideal for people who can't eat tomatoes.
