Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free pasta (e.g., penne or fettuccine)
- 12 ounces Salmon fillet, skinless
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- as needed for boiling pasta Water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten-free pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the salmon cubes in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until just cooked through. Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Allow it to simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest, continuing to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the salmon. Gently toss to coat everything evenly with the creamy sauce.
Sprinkle with fresh dill, and season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra dill and lemon wedges if desired.
