Pre-sliced smoked salmon is a convenient source of high-quality protein, omega-3s and other essential nutrients that can elevate the taste of so many things. This quick pasta dish is a great example. A splash of cream lends a touch of richness while keeping this dish on the light side, and toasted pine nuts, lemon juice, and herbs add dimension. Green peas or asparagus tips would also be welcome. While smoked salmon is high in sodium, a little goes a long way. Do taste before
