Salmon Fettuccine with Creamy Sauce (Print Version)

Creamy salmon fettuccine with tender pasta and flavorful sauce.

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 pounds salmon, skin and bones removed, cubed into 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces
02 - 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
03 - Kosher salt, to taste
04 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
05 - 4 to 5 garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped
06 - 1 medium shallot, diced
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
08 - 2 tablespoons fresh dill
09 - 1 cup sweet peas
10 - 1 cup half-and-half
11 - 1/2 cup white wine
12 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
13 - 1 teaspoon salt
14 - Olive oil, as needed
15 - 1/2 pound fettuccine or other pasta, cooked to al dente

# Instructions:

01 - Remove the skin and bones from the salmon. Cube the salmon 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.
02 - Preheat a medium fry pan over medium heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon. Fry on medium heat, turning cubes every 2 minutes, until the fish is done (8 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness). Remove the salmon from the pan and keep warm.
03 - Using the same pan, add the garlic and diced shallot. Keep the 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.
04 - Add the white wine to the pan and turn heat up to medium; cook until the wine reduces by half. Turn heat back down to low and add the half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the cheese is melted.
05 - Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons fresh dill and the sweet peas. Cook for another 2 minutes and remove the sauce from heat.
06 - Add the 1/2 pound of prepared pasta to the sauce; toss to coat evenly.
07 - Top the pasta with the cooked salmon and serve immediately, adding 4 to 5 salmon pieces per serving.

# Notes:

01 - For extra flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese and high-quality olive oil.
