Salmon with Asparagus and Ravioli Recipe

A creamy, cheesy solution for your leftover fish!

This is an excellent way to use up leftover cooked salmon or arctic char.

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup raw asparagus, cut into 1-inch lengths
• 1 to 2 tablespoons sliced scallions, both white and green parts
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  
• 1 cup flaked cooked salmon
• ¼ cup cream
• Freshly milled black pepper
• 1 tablespoon creamy cheese, such as St. Andre, or cream cheese
• 4 ounces cheese ravioli

Method

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet. Add the asparagus. Cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Lower the heat and stir in the scallions, cilantro, and salmon. Cook another 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the cream, a generous amount of pepper, and the cheese. Cook just long enough for the ingredients to form a light sauce.

Add the ravioli and salt to the boiling water. Drain, toss with the remaining tablespoon butter, and then the sauce.
