Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
-
Add the salmon pieces to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and slightly browned on the edges. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
-
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
-
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined with the cream sauce.
-
Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add some of the reserved pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.
-
Gently fold in the cooked salmon pieces, making sure they are distributed throughout the pasta.
-
Season the Salmon Fettuccine with additional salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness.
-
Serve the Salmon Fettuccine hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired. Enjoy this creamy and flavorful dish with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal!
