Description

Creamy salmon and shrimp pasta is a savory dish featuring flaky salmon, tender shrimp, and a velvety sauce. It’s simple enough for a weeknight meal yet luxurious enough for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8–10 oz salmon fillet (skin off, cubed)
  • 8–10 oz shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 8 oz pasta (e.g., fettuccine)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • ¼ cup white wine (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Parsley or basil (chopped), for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Boil salted water in a pot. Add pasta, cook until al dente (according to package directions). Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Warm butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, cooking until translucent, then stir in garlic for about 30 seconds.
  3. Sear Salmon: Pat salmon cubes dry and season with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet, cooking for 2–3 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate once lightly golden.
  4. Cook Shrimp: Add shrimp to the pan, cooking for about 2 minutes per side until pink. Transfer shrimp with the salmon.
  5. Create Sauce: (Optional) Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat to low, stir in cream, then sprinkle in grated Parmesan. Whisk gently until cheese melts, and the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Return salmon and shrimp to the pan. Add cooked pasta, stirring to coat everything with the sauce. If needed, use reserved pasta water to adjust consistency. Taste, then season with salt or pepper.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Plate the creamy salmon and shrimp pasta. Top with chopped parsley or basil, and enjoy immediately.
