Hey cooking pros! I'm planning ahead for a dinner party and hoping to prep a delicious salmon pasta dish in advance. Any genius tips for prepping ahead without sacrificing flavor or texture? Should I cook the salmon separately? Chill the sauce? I'd love to hear your prep hacks!

That sounds like a fantastic dinner party idea! For prepping a salmon pasta dish in advance, it's a great idea to cook the salmon separately. This way, you can keep it fresh and flaky, and just add it to the pasta right before serving. As for the sauce, chilling it in advance can work well, but make sure to reheat it gently to avoid losing its flavor and texture. Another tip is to cook the pasta just until al dente, so it doesn't get too soft when you reheat everything together. Don’t forget to save a little pasta water to help loosen the sauce if needed! Enjoy your dinner party!

Sure thing! For prepping salmon pasta ahead of time, start by cooking the salmon and pasta separately, then store them in airtight containers. Keep the sauce separate to prevent it from getting soggy. When you're ready to eat, just reheat everything and toss it together! Don't forget to add a little fresh lemon or herbs before serving for that pop of flavor!
