"This was a top selling menu item at Nordstrom's dining rooms for quite a while, described as salmon and asparagus in angel hair pasta tossed in a light lemon cream sauce. Despite its popularity, it dropped off the menu several years ago and is no longer available. And as far as I know, the recipe isn't included in any of the current Nordstrom cookbooks either. It was such a favorite dish of so many customers though (myself included!), and many "clone" recipes have appeared on online recipe sites that claim to be a copycat of the original recipe. But most of those recipes didn't come very close to capturing all the wonderful blend of fresh flavors that made this dish so popular. That is, until now. This copycat recipe comes as close to the original recipe that I've seen so far. I hope you enjoy it!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Prepare pasta as directed on package. Once cooked, drain in colander. While still hot, add 1 Tbsp butter and 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice to the hot pasta, and toss gently to allow melted butter to coat the pasta. Set pasta aside.
Step 2
While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil and remaining 1 Tbsp butter in a large skillet.
Step 3
Season the salmon pieces with salt and pepper, then cut (or separate) salmon into bit-size pieces. Add salmon pieces to skillet, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes each side, set salmon aside.
Step 4
Add asparagus strips to the skillet, and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes or until softened.
Step 5
Add drained pasta and cooked salmon to the skillet, and gently toss until well combined.
Step 6
Remove skillet from heat. Add parmesan cheese to the pasta mixture, and toss gently until well incorporated. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Step 7
Divide the pasta mixture among 4 pasta bowls or 4 serving dishes with rimmed edges. Garnish the top of each serving with chives and lemon zest, and serve immediately. SERVING SUGGESTION: It’s great served with warm garlic bread or cheese bread!
