This is my quick salmon pasta dinner meal which I love to prepare when I crave a simple but flavorful fish pasta dish.
You will need only a few ingredients to make this dish within 30 minutes.
Pasta shape
In the pictures, I used some short fettuccine or tagliatelle pasta.
Honestly, I think you can use any short pasta shape to make this dish.
Something like penne, bow tie, campanelle, casarecce, rotini or elbows work great with the sauce and the salmon bits.
It's not that spaghetti and linguini wouldn't work, but I think short pasta is a better choice.
How to make it?
The pasta is made with a salmon filet. You can use fresh or frozen.
The seasoning is simple too but adds enough flavor so that you can enjoy a tasty homemade meal after a long day at work.
Find the complete recipe with ingredients and instructions at the bottom of this post in the recipe card.
Step 1
Cook pasta through and keep aside.
Cut the salmon fillet into smaller pieces.
Step 2
Heat up a pot with oil and cook salmon pieces on all sides.
Create your sauce by pouring cream and adding seasoning to your salmon in the pot.
Step 3
Add cooked pasta to sauce in the pot and combine.
Serve hot!
Serving
I recommend serving a vegetarian salad with this easy salmon pasta recipe for a whole meal.
The pasta are carbs, the salmon fish is proteins and salads will add healthy raw greens.
Enjoy a balanced pasta dish with a simple green salad, cucumber dill salad or an arugula salad with feta.
