I did made several modifications:

- used olive oil instead of butter (tried to be healthy
- used chicken stock instead (too lazy to go to the store
- after boiling down the stock, I ran the sauce through a sieve (nobody in my family likes onions/scallions pieces in their food, but just the flavor is ok
- used only 1 cup of cream (tried to be healthy again
- used frozen basil leaves (too lazy again, since the frozen leaves didn't look too nice as a sprinkle-on, I added them to the cream during the boil-down, as a result, the sauce was "sweetened" by the basil, really complemented the vodka.
- used only 4 oz of salmon (too salty
- sprinkled a few drops of lemon juice onto the chopped salmon before adding to sauce, it mellows the fish flavor just a tad.

I say incredible because it was still absolutely delicious having to sub canned tomatoes for the concasse, clam juice for the fish stock, dried herbs for fresh. I did add a bit more than 8 oz. pasta - probably because of the canned tomatoes with the juice.

Great recipe. I really enjoyed it. Only thing I would have preferred would have been a bit less smoked salmon. instead of 1/2 lb salmon, use around 1/4. Otherwise it would be too salty for my taste. Again, even with the extra salmon, it was a great recipe. Oh, also, went really well with a nice white Falaghina wine. :

I made this dish for a group of girlfriend's while on a visit back east. It was a natural choice since some of the ladies don't eat meat, but will eat fish. They just loved it! My weight conscious, bird-like eating girlfriends loved it so much that they went back for seconds AND thirds! I was even told that it was the best dish they'd ever had (not an easy compliment to get in NYC. It was easy and such a crowd pleaser... I served the dish with a side of grilled asparagus and a starter salad. I'll definitely be adding this recipe to my permanent recipe box.
