- Cook the onion in the butter for about 3 minutes, then add the chopped garlic (the garlic needs less time to be cooked and it burns faster). Cook together for about 5-7 minutes(moderate heat).
- While cooking the onion and garlic boil the water for the pasta. Add a tablespoon of salt into the water, and when it starts boiling add the pasta( the cooking time should be specified on the package).
- I added the wine on the onion/garlic and cooked them for 5-8 more minutes. I put 3 tbs of the water the pasta boiled in on the onion. Added the sour cream, sprinkled with the dill-cooked for 2,3 minutes..
- At the end flake the salmon, add the lime juice and cook 2-3 more minutes..
- It would be even tastier with some parmesan sprinkled on top..
