Steps

1
Pat dry the 16 oz salmon skin on filet thoroughly and season the flesh side of the fish with ½ tsp kosher salt.
2
Preheat a stainless steel pan over medium-high heat. When you sprinkle water on the pan and beads of water glide easily across the surface, add the 3 tbsp olive oil and heat up for one minute until the oil shimmers and glides.
3
Slowly lower the salmon, skin-side down, onto the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the salmon easily releases from the pan. Don’t lift or dislodge the salmon until it’s ready. The salmon should be 80% opaque.
4
Turn the fish over and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the salmon registers 120 °F internally. It’s okay if the center is still slightly translucent; it will continue to cook after transferring.
5
Transfer the fish onto a plate and set aside.
6
In the same saute pan over medium heat, add the 1 tbsp olive oil. Saute the 1 tsp Italian seasoning until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
7
Add the 2 c chopped yellow onion and cook until softened about 3-5 minutes.
8
Add the 4 tbsp chopped garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
9
Add the ½ c vegetable stock to deglaze the pan.
10
Transfer the sauce to a blender. Set aside.
11
In a pot, bring to a boil the 12 c water for boiling and ½ c kosher salt.
12
Add the 8 oz dry pasta and follow the box instructions to cook until al dente. Take a bite of the pasta, it should be soft with a slight bite to the texture. About 7-8 minutes.
13
Transfer the pasta to a bowl and set aside.
14
Reserve ½ c pasta water.
15
In the same blender we already started adding sauce ingredients, add the 14.5 oz soft tofu, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and ¼ c of pasta water.
16
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides and reblending as necessary.
17
In the same saute pan over medium heat, transfer the sauce and add the ½ c fresh grated parmesan. Mix until incorporated.
18
Cook in the pan for two minutes to heat up and thicken the sauce, stirring occasionally. Taste the sauce and add kosher salt if you need it.
19
Add the pasta and mix with tongs gently. Add more pasta water if it’s too thick.
20
Cube the salmon and add to the pan. Add the 2 tbsp chopped dill and mix.
21
Serve immediately.
