× Jump to RecipePrint RecipeThis salmon pasta recipe features chunks of tender pan-seared salmon with linguine pasta tossed in a delicious lemon cream sauce. And at just 30 minutes from start to finish, it's a perfect choice for a weeknight dinner.Jump to:This creamy salmon pasta recipe is a great option when you want a quick and easy weeknight dinner without sacrificing flavor. It tastes like a restaurant-quality meal in just 30 minutes!The sauce is rich and creamy and is similar to salmon alfredo pasta, but the addition of chicken broth and lemon juice helps balance out the flavor with a punch of acidity. And the lemon is a classic and familiar flavor pairing with the salmon.For other weeknight pasta ideas check out my Pasta Alla Vodka, Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta, and my Cajun Shrimp Pasta!See the recipe card at the bottom of this post for a full list of ingredients and measurements.Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water according to the package directions. Then drain and set aside.Set a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil. Season the salmon with ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper, then add to the pan skin side up. Sear for 5 minutes until well browned. Then flip and continue cooking for 12-15 minutes, until cooked through. Remove the salmon and set it aside.Melt two tablespoons of butter in the pan then add the minced garlic and sauté for 30-45 seconds until fragrant. Add the cream, chicken broth, and lemon juice then stir together and bring to a low simmer. Stir in the parmesan cheese and one teaspoon of chopped parsley. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until thickened enough to coat a spoon. Season with the remaining salt and pepper to taste.Remove from the heat, then add the pasta and stir until well-coated. Using two forks, break up the salmon and discard the skin.Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl, platter, or individual plates. Top the pasta with the salmon chunks, additional cheese, and parsley, then serve.This dish is rich and filling and doesn't require a lot of side dishes, but you can't go wrong with a side of crusty bread and a side salad. I recommend my apple walnut salad or my shaved brussels sprouts and kale salad. Both are slightly sweet and tangy, which will balance the richness of the pasta.This creamy salmon pasta can be easily adapted to suit your tastes. Here are a few simple variations to try:How to store leftovers? Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. This salmon pasta does not freeze well. How to reheat creamy pasta? Transfer the leftover pasta to a baking dish and add a splash of cream (1-2 Tbsp), then reheat in a 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Smaller portions can be reheated in the microwave. Can I substitute half and half or milk for the cream? I do not recommend substituting the cream with a lower fat option. The higher fat content in the heavy cream will reduce the chance of curdling which can be caused by the acidic lemon juice. Can I use wine in the sauce? You can replace half of the chicken broth with a dry white wine if you prefer. Can I use another type of pasta? I do recommend a long noodle pasta like spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccini, but almost any style of pasta will work in this recipe.If you try this recipe, don't forget to leave a RATING or COMMENT below.

We are what most people would call food snobs and love to cook at home and this was scrumptious and easy. We used it as a recipe to help use up the scraps from a few king Salmon that we had frozen and didn't want to waste. Absolutely amazing. Great weeknight dinner with common and affordable ingredients. Rich and creamy. Agree about using real Parmesan cheese. Absolutely loved it&lt;3ReplyThis site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.See More →
