Tlingit Salmon Linguine

Tlingit Salmon Linguine is a vibrant and flavorful dish that celebrates the rich traditions of the Tlingit people, combining tender salmon with a creamy avocado sauce over a bed of linguine made from almond flour. This Paleo American pasta dish is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients.

Ingredients

• Almond flour linguine - 150 grams
• Fresh salmon fillets - 200 grams
• Ripe avocado - 1 medium
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh dill - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved

Steps

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the almond flour linguine according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them skin-side down in the skillet.
3. Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking into bite-sized pieces.
4. In a blender, combine the avocado, minced garlic, lemon juice, remaining olive oil, and fresh dill. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water to reach desired consistency.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked linguine, flaked salmon, halved cherry tomatoes, and avocado sauce. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with additional dill if desired.
