You may think you know gnocchi - those delicious little potato dumplings that look like little pillows on your plate. But have you ever thought of pairing them with salmon? As the recipe below will show you, it can be done, and it really jazzes up those already tasty gnocchi. This dish is elegant and sophisticated, but takes very little time at all to create.
Of course, make sure you pick up smoked salmon - those thin pink sheets of salmon that are already cooked, and already delicious. Then you just have to cover it all in cream sauce and give it a quick bake in the oven. When it comes out, sprinkle it with the smoked salmon and get ready to enjoy gnocchi in a way you never thought possible.
