Learn how to make delicious Salmon Pasta Creamy. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

To bring this hearty dish to life, you’ll need a handful of pantry staples and fresh ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 8 oz of your favorite pasta (penne or fettuccine works great)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into chunks
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

If you’re short on some ingredients, don’t worry. You can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version, and if you don’t have fresh dill, dried dill will do just fine. This recipe is all about flexibility, just like my mom’s magical tomato dishes.

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to whip up your own creamy salmon pasta masterpiece:

  1. Start by cooking the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon chunks and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and dill. Continue to cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Add the cooked pasta and salmon back into the skillet, tossing everything to coat evenly with the creamy sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Take a moment to breathe in the heavenly aroma filling your kitchen.

Cooking at home is about creating memories, just like those stories my dad would share by the stove. It’s okay if things get a little messy—just enjoy the process!
