How It’s Made!

Any seafood recipe needs to start with high-quality products. Wild-caught salmon is one of my favorite seafood ingredients to cook with. It’s so versatile and can take on just about any sauce, herb or flavor. This salmon fettuccine alfredo recipe is no exception! I make this dish with huge, tender chunks of salmon seasoned with fresh dill. The refreshing flavor of the dill really complements the salmon. Add a little squeeze of lemon juice when serving this pasta dish for an extra kick of freshness!

The salmon is then served on a bed of creamy, alfredo-style fettuccine pasta! I like to make my alfredo sauce on the lighter side and use half-and-half in this recipe. If you want a creamier, richer sauce, simply use whole cream instead. I love fettuccine pasta but feel free to make this with any type of pasta.

And, to add even more flavor and texture, I add a bit of sweet peas to the alfredo sauce. They add just the right amount of sweetness. You can also use steamed asparagus tips for this seafood recipe!

Ingredients

2 pounds salmon
3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 to 5 garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped
1 medium shallot, diced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
2 tablespoons fresh dill
1 cup sweet peas
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
olive oil
1/2 pound fettuccine or other pasta, cooked to al dente

Instructions

Prepare the salmon: remove the skin and bones. Cube into large chunks, 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces, and place into a large bowl. Season generously with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper and 3 tablespoons fresh dill. Toss to coat the fish evenly.
Preheat a medium fry pan over medium heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil. Once pan is hot, add the salmon. Fry on medium heat, turning cubes every 2 minutes, until fish is done; 8 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove salmon from pan and keep warm.
Into the same pan, add the garlic and diced shallot. Keep pan over a low-medium heat and sweat the shallot until translucent, but not browned. Add the fresh thyme and cook for a few minutes. Add the wine and turn heat up to medium; cook to reduce wine in half.
Turn heat back down to low and add half-and-half, Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Cook, whisking occasionally, until cheese is melted. Add the 2 tablespoons fresh dill and peas; cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove sauce from heat and 1/2 pound of prepared pasta; toss to coat evenly. Top with salmon and serve immediately; add 4 to 5 salmon pieces per serving.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I did modify but only a little. I don’t like pan frying fish. My house stinks for days anytime I try. I baked the salmon for 10 minutes in the oven with the skin on then cubed. Anytime you can bake salmon with the skin on it heightens the nutritional benefits and keeps the salmon moist. It’s does not cube as nicely but it worked out great. For the sauce I sautéed the shallots in half a stick of butter. I know know BUTTER but who doesn’t like be butter! It helped thicken up the sauce and I added a teaspoon of flour for thickening purpose. My family loved this dish! Thank you for the recipe!!!❤

I made this recipe for my family last night, and they loved it! It was very good and I look forward to having it again in the future! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!

I fixed the salmon in the skillet as directed, and it was tasty. But I would like to know at what temperature you should bake the salmon if I want to try it that way next time.
