What a great recipe to have in your database. Easy salmon and pasta weeknight dinner idea with restaurant quality. Delicate angel hair pasta with salmon is combined with a wonderful paprika wine sauce. Healthy and entertaining worthy.
No matter which shape you prefer, mixing pasta and fresh, seasonal vegetables makes for a healthy, delicious meal. For my Salmon and pasta dinner, I chose delicate angel hair pasta to compliment fresh chopped tomatoes from my garden and sauteed sweet yellow bell pepper. I’ve been hoarding a few Vidalia onions for special dishes that welcome their subtle and mild sweetness. The sauce of white wine, lemon, paprika and capers complimented the chunks of grilled salmon and brought everything together for this fabulous and easy salmon dinner recipe.
All this salmon meal needs is a gorgeous green salad. Like this Louisiana Sunburst Salad.
Making this Salmon Pasta Recipe
- This salmon pasta starts with grilled salmon which is simply seasoned with salt. Grill it until it’s just starting to flake. Remove from grill, tent with foil and make the paprika wine sauce. Cook the angel hair pasta and complete the meal.
- Flake the salmon into fairly large chunks, remembering the salmon will break up a little bit more when stirring into the pasta.
- In a pasta serving bowl, combine the pasta and paprika wine sauce. Gently stir and then add the chunked salmon. Disperse the salmon throughout, making sure it’s coated with that beautiful sauce.
- For a little extra pizzaz, I like to hit it with a few sprinkles of red pepper flakes.

Angel Hair Pasta with Salmon and Paprika Wine Sauce …It’s What’s for dinner.
What a delicious recipe! Using some leftover baked salmon, this was a fast & easy meal…the kind I love best! I would never have thought of the caper/paprika addition. Thank you for another great recipe idea.
It’s already a favorite.
Made this on the fly this afternoon. Quick, easy and delicious! Thanks for a fast Sunday afternoon meal!
love the flavors in this pasta dish!
Thank you Joumana. Always good to hear from you.
Right up my alley… love salmon and pasta.
Oooohhh!!! Paprika wine sauce?? I love it!!! I bet it was fantastic!!
Hmm, Lea Ann, that’s my kind of a dish. Bought lots of the wild caught sockeye and froze it the other week.
Oh yeah, I really love true Vidaillas. Walla walla, 1016, and St Augustine jumbos are all good but Vidaillas just have a better taste.
This is definitely going to be made at our house. Thanks for posting this great recipe, and I like the photo!
What a nice light dish for a hot summer’s day. Love it that you were able to use tomatoes from your garden. Ours were a wash this year so I am very jealous.
This looks wonderful, and as a hoarder of flatware, I love yours!!

This looks delicious, Lea Ann! Salmon is on our menu for tomorrow. I hope I can find some good, wild salmon at the market tomorrow! Salmon and pasta are wonderful together.
I was just looking at some beautiful salmon in the market yesterday . . . it must have been a sign! What a beautiful pasta dish with so many layers of delicious flavors! So glad that you’ve had a productive garden Lea Ann!

This sounds like a great one dish meal – I’ve never had salmon in a pasta dish before, but I’ve used tuna.
Thanks so much for stopping by and the comment. I hope you give this a try and that you let me know how you liked it. I had something similar to this in a restaurant a couple of weeks ago, hence the idea. I just switched it up a little for what I had on hand.
