When I first saw this, I thought it was a really unique combination of vodka with smoked salmon and in creamy tomato sauce. Nonetheless I decided to give it a try for a dinner with my husband. I have to say that this dish is either a "you certainly love it" dish or "you absoulutely hate it" dish. My husband loved the sauce so much that he ate my share (because I hated the taste of vodka in the sauce.) I'm thinking if it would work better with white wine. There is certainly no need to add more salt.

i made this for a spaghetti party and at first the guests were skeptical about the tomatoes in it, but once they tried it it was devoured. Excellent sauce. It was the only one completely fin ished by the end of the night

This is so good. Instead of the tomato sauce, I just pureed 5 small tomatoes, I added a clove of chopped garlic,chili powder and shrimps. Sauce was a nice pink colour. Usually I have a pasta vodka recipe with bacon in it, but will use only this recipe from now on.

I've used a variation of this sauce with different fish and seafood and its wonderful everytime. Try using clams instead of salmon and it makes a creamy soup/chowder. Throw some extra veggies in for color and added flavor.

I made this with some salmon fillets that I baked in the oven. I really liked it (although I wish I had added some garlic) but Husband wasn't so keen on the vodka flavor. He also didn't much like the super pink appearance. I give it 5 stars, he gives it 3. I served it with buttered egg noodles and fresh green beans. Good stuff!

I used fresh salmon and baked it first, broke it up and added it to the sauce rather than using smoked salmon and it worked just great. My husband and I had salmon ravioli in a local restaurant and I used this recipe to make a very similar sauce - it is delicious with four cheese ravioli.

This is absolutely amazing. I never follow recipes exactly and it still came out great. It was great on crackers, bread, or as a side dish. My guests loved it. YUMMY!

I make this on a regular basis and it's always good. I use milk as it can easily get too rich, and I never use salt, the fish is salty enough.

My husband brought a bunch (Cha-ching $$$) of smoked salmon back from a business trip in Fairbanks, AK and I thought this would be a clever way to incorporate it into our recipe repertoire . . . alas, NO! . . . Long story short, this was not well received by my guests or myself.

This salmon sauce was the best I have tried. I did make a few changes, more out of need then want. I didn't have tomato sauce, so I added more tomatoes and some ketchup. Now, I know you are cringing at the moment, but, it was actually very good. I will try it next time with actual tomato sauce, to compare. Also, I added more salmon and it was fantastic. The other thing is, I didn't take the sauce off of the burner, but just lowered it. My husband loved this. It is a winner in my opinion.

Yummy! I made a few changes. I didn't have any smoked salmon on hand so I used one can of pink salmon. I also switched the butter for garlic butter. It came out great! Very easy to prepare.

Made this last night for dinner with my boyfriend and it was fabulous! Very easy and elegant. Served it over farfalle with sauteed asparagus spears on the side. I added two cloves of garlic and a chopped shallot to the sauce and a bit more onion (red) than called for. To make it healthier (and because I do not like very rich sauces on my pasta) I used half-n-half in place of the heavy cream and Smart Balance Light margarine instead of butter. I did not add any additional salt. I was worried that it would be too salty, but after adding the tomatoes (on the advice of other reviewers, added in the last few minutes of making the sauce) and mixing with the pasta, the saltiness was fine. Will definitely make again! Also, I doubled the sauce except for the salmon (chopped up 4 oz, which was a lot) and it ended up being WAY more than just two of us needed. If you are making it for 2-3 people and are eating normal-sized portions, I would not double the sauce.

This dish is a winner! I made it for my husband on Valentine's Day and both of us really enjoyed it. It didn't taste overly fishy and the vodka and cayenne pepper made the sauce interesting without overwhelming the other flavours. I had no problem burning off the vodka. It was quick and easy to make. Thanks for the recipe!

I didn't care for this recipe, but my 4 yr old daughter really liked it. I probably won't make this again. I'll keep on searching for recipes to make with the smoked salmon my brother sends every Christmas.
