To prepare the tagliolini with salmon and peas, start by cleaning and finely chopping the spring onions 1, place them in a non-stick pan with about 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and let them soften over low heat 2. At this point, add the peas 3,
stir 4, pour in a ladle of boiling water 5 and let them cook until they are cooked but still green and crunchy: about 10-15 minutes will suffice 6; then adjust with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, focus on preparing the salmon. By running your fingertip over the salmon fillet, check for any remaining bones and remove them with kitchen tweezers if necessary 7. Using a flexible and sharp knife, remove the skin from the fish 8 and cut it first into strips and then into cubes about 1/2 inch 9.
Pour the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil into a pan, let it heat slightly, then add the diced salmon 10, browning it for about 5 minutes until a golden crust forms 11. Cook the pasta al dente in plenty of boiling salted water, salted to taste 12.
Then drain it, reserving the cooking water 13 and add it to the pan with the peas 14, adding a ladle of the pasta cooking water 15.
Finally, add the diced salmon 16 and stir to mix the ingredients well 17. Turn off the heat and season with black pepper to taste; serve the tagliolini with salmon and peas still hot 18.
