Ingredients:
2 salmon fillets
1/2 lb (225g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Fresh parsley for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
Cook the pasta: Boil a pot of salted water and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Cook the salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until the salmon is golden and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the shrimp: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Make the creamy sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Finish the sauce: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Combine and serve: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the creamy sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. Plate the pasta and top with the cooked salmon and shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a burst of freshness.
