    Makes 4 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, minced (about 3/4 cup)
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 1/3 cups dry white wine
1/2 cup bottled clam juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 3/4 pounds skinless salmon fillets, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces
3 cups loosely packed fresh arugula
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
12 ounces linguine

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter with olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic; sauté 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook just until tender, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add wine, clam juice, lemon juice and marjoram; simmer 5 minutes. Add salmon and simmer until almost cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add arugula, capers and fresh herbs to salmon mixture. Simmer until salmon is just cooked through and arugula is just wilted, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, cook linguine in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally.

    Step 3

    Drain pasta well and return to pot. Add salmon-arugula mixture to pasta and toss to coat. Serve warm.
