Salmon Pesto Taglietelle

Last night there something in the air and I decided to make a three course dinner. It turned out really well. Starting off with two seperate kinds of brie cheeses and toasted breads for the appetizer. Then moved onto a cheese risotto similar to the one I made earlier. Followed by this dish, a Salmon Pesto pasta and finishing with more chocolate covered peanuts. This pasta was the high light though for my night. It is not used with a typical pesto sauce.

I went to the store and for the first time there was a truck vendor outside the store selling fish. He was a local fisherman and was trying out this new spot out in front of the store. His product was really good, and surprisingly cheap. Happened to be the best price I have seen for fish in Sweden so far. He said it is because he does it all himself and that he lives locally is how he can keep the prices down. Anyway, by pan frying the salmon with some Dill, salt & pepper and Lemon I then seperated the cooked salmon and tossed it in with the pesto sauce mix. The mix is actually a bag of dried Pesto sauce herbs that I picked up in Italy, it said to also mix the herbs with some sour cream however I didn't have any. But simply sauteeing the mixture with some olive oil then tossing it with the same and then the noodles turned out really well. It still had a really good taste to it, and turned out to be lighter then a typical pesto sauce.
