From John's Recipe Collection

Recipe modified from one on a can of Totem smoked salmon.

2.7 k smoked salmon
8 L cooked rotini (8 - 12 oz packages), drained and cooled

If salmon includes liquid, drain it and reserve the liquid. Break salmon into chunks. Combine with rotini in a large bowl. Add lemon dressing and toss lightly.

Lemon Dressing:

Reserved salmon liquid, if any
Leaves of 4 bunches basil (variation: mint)
900 mL olive oil
60 mL minced garlic, or 24 cloves
20 mL salt
20 mL dill weed
20 mL ground black pepper
700 oz. shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese
240 mL lemon juice and 20 mL crushed, grated lemon peel
or if doubling recipe, juice and zest of 1 medium lemon
or (variation) juice and zest of 8 limes

Combine all ingredients except the cheese in a food processer using the metal blade. Process until the basil is appropriately minced. Mix in the cheese.
