Leave the salmon in generous flakes so it doesn't disappear among the noodles. The sour cream sauce is silky and gently warmed by nutmeg, with browned mushrooms giving it savory depth.

Granny’s Kitchen Notes

From Betty Lou Gardner

The nutmeg doesn't seem like much when it goes in, but I'd notice if it was missing. I flake the salmon a little larger than most people do because I like finding it in the noodles. The paprika belongs on top at the table, not stirred into the sauce. A lemon wedge on the side never hurts.

How to Make Salmon Pasta Supreme

◆

Wide egg noodles boiling in an enamel pot beside a metal colander on a vintage stovetop.

Cook the Noodles

Boil spinach noodles or egg noodles until just tender. Reserve some of the cooking water, then drain and keep warm.

Sliced mushrooms browned in butter with large flakes of cooked salmon and nutmeg in a skillet.

Brown the Mushrooms

Sauté the mushrooms in butter until their moisture evaporates and their edges begin to brown. Add the salmon and nutmeg only long enough to warm through.
