Farfalle pasta with salmon cream is a delicious and refined first course containing fish that is extremely easy to prepare.
This was a popular recipe in the 1980s, and it’s one of several vintage recipes that inspire the feeling of comfort and home, as Delicious puts it: “Embrace the memories with these classic recipes that transport you back to dinners with your parents.”
On Sundays or other holidays, I remember guests or relatives were invited to my house for a meal that began with a shrimp cocktail and ended with the famous dessert, the famed profiterole.

What salmon should I choose?
Salmon, both smoked and fresh or leftover, can be used. A nice salmon will enhance the dish as long as it is of good quality.
For this recipe, I used smoked salmon, particularly wild salmon from Alaska’s waters. The website Brewing Happiness provides a thorough description of which salmon to pick.
