Ingredients

  • 8 ounces of uncooked Linguine or Spaghetti
  • 1 pound of Fresh Salmon Skin removed and cut into equal portions
  • 2 Tbsp + 1 tsp of Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp of Butter
  • 2 Tbsp of Flour
  • 3 Cloves of Garlic Minced
  • 1 cup of Dry White Wine or Chicken Broth
  • 1 ½ cups of Heavy Whipping Cream
  • Juice of Half a Lemon
  • 1 cup of Freshly Grated Parmesan
  • Chopped Fresh Parsley

Salmon Seasoning:

  • 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp of Lemon Pepper
  • 1 tsp of Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp of Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp of Italian Seasoning
  • ½ tsp of Paprika
  • ½ tsp of Salt

Instructions

  • Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions and be sure to add salt to the boiling water. Once cooked, drain, and set aside.
  • Season both sides of the salmon portions with olive oil and the salmon seasoning mixture.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side until a nice crust forms and the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer the seared salmon to a plate and set it aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, and in the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic cloves. Cook for 1 minute, then whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly.
  • Slowly pour in 1 cup of dry white wine or chicken broth, while whisking continuously. Then, add the heavy whipping cream. Bring the mixture to a low simmer.
  • Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is well combined, and the sauce becomes smooth. If the sauce is too thick, you can add ¼ cup of pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
  • Serve the creamy sauce over the cooked linguine or spaghetti, and top with the seared salmon portions. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
