Steps

40 mins

1

Brush the salmon fillets with the olive oil, sprinkle with crushed peppercorns and press on firmly.
2

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook according to instructions or until al dente.
3

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan and cook the chopped green onions gently for 2-3 minutes, or until soft. Stir in the sour cream and the lemon zest and remove from heat.
4

Preheat a frying pan until very hot. Add the salmon fillets and sear for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly.
5

Bring the sour cream sauce to a boil and stir in the parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Drain the pasta thoroughly and return to the pot. Pour the sauce over the linguine and toss gently to coat.
6

Spoon the pasta and sauce onto serving plates and top with salmon fillets. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh dill and lemon slices, if desired.
