Description
A creamy and rich Salmon Alfredo Pasta that combines tender salmon fillets with fettuccine for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 salmon fillets, skinless
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of pasta water.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then cook in the skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from skillet and flake into bite-sized pieces.
- In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer, then whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
- Toss the cooked fettuccine in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed to adjust consistency. Gently fold in the flaked salmon.
- Serve on warm plates and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Roasting garlic can enhance flavor; consider using fresh herbs for an aromatic touch. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
