🛒 Ingredients:
2 salmon fillets, cut into chunks
8 oz fettuccine pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
🍴 Instructions:
Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Salmon:
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon chunks and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the salmon is browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
In the same pan, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
Add the Cream:
Pour in the heavy cream and stir, allowing the sauce to come to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to thicken.
Stir in Parmesan:
Lower the heat and add the Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until it’s fully melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Combine the Pasta and Salmon:
Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the sauce and toss to coat the pasta evenly. Gently fold in the cooked salmon chunks.
Serve and Garnish:
Serve the creamy garlic salmon pasta immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs like parsley or basil, if desired.
