Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb salmon (sliced into 2-inch chunks )
  • 3/4 lb spaghetti
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning (or store-bought )
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 garlic cloves (finely minced)
  • 1/4 tsp red crushed pepper (optional )
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • oil (about 2 tbsp )

Instruction

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. 
  • Place the salmon chunks in a large bowl and season with Cajun seasoning on all sides.
  • Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side, be careful not to overcook the salmon. Squeeze 1/2 of a lemon over the salmon chunks. 
  • Remove the salmon from the skillet and set it aside. Add the butter, garlic, and red crushed pepper to the skillet and cook until fragrant. 
  • Add the heavy cream, half and half, and parmesan cheese. Cook for 12-15 minutes while whisking frequently. If you notice that the sauce is starting to separate, continue whisking. 
  • While the sauce cooks, cook the pasta till al dente. The pasta is going to continue cooking in the sauce so make sure you cook it till al dente. 
  • Season the cream sauce with salt and pepper, add the cooked pasta and salmon, turn off the heat, and cover the skillet. Let the pasta rest for 3-5 minutes. While the pasta rests in the skillet, the sauce will thicken. Uncover, mix well, and enjoy!
