Grilled Salmon Fettuccine Alfredo
This creamy and indulgent fettuccine alfredo is topped with tender grilled salmon chunks, making it a deliciously rich and satisfying meal. The combination of savory salmon and cheesy sauce will surely become a new favorite.
Ingredients:
2 (6 oz) salmon fillets
8 oz fettuccine pasta
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Cook the Pasta: Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water for later.
Grill the Salmon: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and cut into chunks.
Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then whisk in the Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Combine the Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Assemble the Dish: Plate the fettuccine and top with the grilled salmon chunks. Garnish with fresh parsley and cracked black pepper.
This rich and creamy dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner!
