Description

A comforting dish of fettuccine or linguine tossed with a rich and creamy garlic sauce, fresh salmon, and earthy mushrooms.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Salmon fillets
  • Fettuccine or linguine pasta
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or shiitake)
  • Fresh dill or parsley for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente, following package instructions. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. Sauté the Garlic and Mushrooms: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil. Sauté garlic for about a minute until fragrant, then add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened.
  3. Prepare the Salmon: Add raw salmon to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for around 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through, then flake it apart with a fork.
  4. Make the Sauce: Pour in heavy cream, allowing it to simmer and thicken. Mix in drained pasta and add reserved water as needed to reach the desired consistency.
  5. Finish with Herbs: Stir in fresh dill or parsley and additional seasoning if required.
  6. Serve: Scoop pasta onto plates, topping with extra herbs for garnish.

Notes

Ensure not to overcook the salmon and adjust the seasoning to your taste.
