Ingredients
Scale
Salmon:
- 340 grams salmon fillets
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Fettuccine:
- 225 grams dry fettuccine
Alfredo Sauce:
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 240 millilitres heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 120 grams freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Salmon – Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange salmon fillets skin-side down, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 10–12 minutes until easily flaked with a fork. Cool slightly and flake into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Cook Fettuccine – Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine until al dente following manufacturer’s instructions. Reserve 240 millilitres of the pasta cooking water before draining. Set pasta and reserved water aside.
- Make Alfredo Sauce – Return the pot to medium heat and melt butter until bubbling. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Add parmesan cheese and stir until fully melted and creamy.
- Combine and Finish – Reduce heat to low. Add cooked fettuccine to the sauce with 120–180 millilitres reserved pasta water, stirring gently to coat and loosen the sauce as needed. Fold in flaked salmon and toss carefully to distribute evenly. Serve immediately.
