Add a pinch of sugar every time you make a vinaigrette. That will balance the acidity of the dressing and then you season with salt to your liking. Its the same concept with tomato sauce. A lot of people will add a pinch of sugar to tomato sauce if it tastes tart. Sweet balances sour. Creamed salmon seems a little sketchy haha

You can omit the anchovy paste if you really don’t like it or can’t find it. You can’t really taste the anchovy paste if you don’t put too much, it is really there just to add body and mellow out the acidity of a vinaigrette. You can make an equally delicious dressing with just lemon juice or some sort of vinegar, good olive oil, salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar and maybe some dijon mustard and shallots. I would not suggest adding salmon.

This is another one of those cleaning out the fridge meals and it turned out to be kind of like a healthier carbonara. I fried a little bit of diced onion, red pepper flakes, garlic and leftover cut up ham, then tossed it with some spaghetti and a beaten egg with a little milk and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl and threw in some arugula and capers last minute.
