To prepare a dish like salmon and pasta is easy enough but it takes the best ingredients to cook this dish to perfection. The salmon should be firm and pink in color, not mushy or pail. Fresh egg pasta, free range eggs, freshly grated Parmesan, butter, mushroom and basil.

For above dish I used my newly acquired Truffle salt and pistachio-Parmesan Pesto from Italy. Seasoned the salmon fillet with salt and fresh black pepper before pan-fried. For the pasta sauce I sautéed the sliced mushroom in little olive oil. Then added the chopped onion and garlic with some butter. In a separate bowl I combined some egg yolks and grated Parmesan cheese and combined the cooked pasta with the mushroom and Parmesan yolks. Seasoned with Truffle sea salt and fresh black pepper.

One of my favorite cooking ingredients, apart from freshly grounded black pepper is sea salt, salt of the best quality available. E just brought me this small packet of Truffle sea salt from Switzerland, made in Italy. Opening the small bag revealed an outburst of flavors; it just shocked me at first. Still, after an half an hour the sweet and lovely smell of truffles is still noticeable in the room. Just imagine a few sprinkle of this salt onto your pasta what it does to the taste??
