Dinner

Whipping an egg into the filling of these simple, folded dumplings makes them fluffy and moist—and a double hit of soy amps up the umami.

This recipe assumes you have fresh or leftover cooked plain pasta in the fridge, but if you happen to magically have leftover pesto pasta, throw that in (no extra sauce required).

Gently cooking salmon fillets in olive oil makes their flesh become extravagantly tender and silky. While confit sounds fancy, this is a mostly hands-off oven method that’s ideal for weeknights.
