The art of Italian cooking: salmon tagliatelle

Hi, this is the forty first entry about the art of cooking Italian pasta.

Today’s post is dedicated to salmon tagliatelle. It’s a delicate dish but tasty. Salmon is marinated in orange juice.

Salmon tagliatelle

It’s a typical example of our original home cooking. Read step-by-step instructions on this page.

Salmon is very tasty and everybody likes it. But there is a problem.

We choose not farmed salmon if possible, in other words wild salmon. Do you know salmon farming causes a high pollution?

- Interactions with wild fish if a salmon escapes from its farm

- Wild fish for feed: each pound of salmon produced requires at least 3 pounds of wild-caught fish

- Pollution: for example it is suspected that nutrients released from salmon farms stimulate micro- algal blooms

- Disease: the densely packed condition in pens promotes disease, a common problem in most salmon farms

A real problem. Wild salmons are rare and farmed salmons cause all these problems.

We have solved the problem eating salmon more rarely than we used to do in the past. What a pity!

Our consolation is in the thought salmon makes the  glucose level in the blood  raise
