Pasta rags and warmed salmon

Ingredients

Quantity		Ingredient
1	cup	Fresh; ripe tomato
½	pounds	Fresh salmon fillet; skin, bones removed
6	quarts	Water
2	tablespoons	Salt
1	pounds	Fresh pasta sheets
6	tablespoons	Extra-virgin olive oil
¼	cup	Chopped fresh dill
		Salt; to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste

Directions

Seed and dice the tomato and set aside. Cut the salmon into slivers that are paper thin and almost transparent and set aside. Bring the water to a boil and add the salt. When the water returns to the boil add the pasta and cook for between 4 to 6 minutes or until fully cooked but still with a toothy bite. Drain the pasta but reserve 1 cup of the cooking water. Do not rinse the pasta. Toss the pasta in a bowl with the olive oil, add the tomato, salmon and dill and toss again. The heat of the hot pasta will cook the thin pieces of salmon to a delicate finish. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper. If you a prefer a more liquid sauce, some of the hot pasta water may be added to moisten the dish or some whole butter may be added as well. Serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 to 6 appetizer portions.
