Creamy Garlic Butter Salmon Pasta

by

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin side up (if they have skin). Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the salmon over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

  4. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley.

  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat with the creamy sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water.

  7. Serve the pasta hot, topped with the cooked salmon fillets and chopped parsley (if using).

Description

Creamy Garlic Butter Salmon Pasta is a decadent and flavorful dish that’s sure to impress. The combination of tender salmon, rich creamy sauce, and al dente pasta makes for a truly satisfying meal.

Tips

– Use high-quality salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture.
– Don’t overcook the salmon – it should be cooked through but still moist and flaky.
– Add some steamed vegetables (e.g., asparagus or broccoli) to make the dish more well-rounded.
– For an extra rich sauce, add some grated Romano or Asiago cheese.

Correction

If you find that the sauce is too thin, simmer it for a few more minutes to reduce the liquid. If it’s too thick, add a little more heavy cream or pasta water.

Enjoy your creamy garlic butter salmon pasta! 😋🍽️
