Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces salmon fillets
- 250 grams fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 liter water for boiling pasta
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining and set the pasta aside.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the sauce.
Divide the pasta among serving plates and place a salmon fillet on top of each. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Salmon with Pasta.
