Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

  • 2 recipes Baked Blackened Salmon, 4 fillets

For the Alfredo Sauce:

For the Pasta:

  • ½ pound fettuccine pasta, cooked according to package instructions
  • Garnish: extra parsley, lemon wedges and parmesan cheese.

Instructions
 

For the Blackened Salmon:

  • Follow the instructions for making Baked Blackened Salmon according to the recipe link above. Either leave the salmon whole or flake it into smaller bites.

For the Alfredo Sauce:

  • In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter on medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
  • Turn down the heat to medium-low and add the milk or half and half and the softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the parmesan cheese and Italian Seasoning and stir until the sauce thickens, which should be around 5-7 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water.

To Finish the Dish:

  • Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the alfredo sauce and use tons to toss and coat the noodles. Toss in the parsley.
  • Put the noodles on a dish and put the salmon on top.
  • Garnish with the extra parmesan cheese, lemon wedges, and parsley.

Notes

Storage & Leftovers

Store any leftovers of this Salmon Alfredo Pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.  You can reheat it in the microwave under 30-second increments until warm.  I like to add a few drops of milk to my alfredo before heating it to bring it back to life.  I also like to reheat my salmon separately because they can reheat differently and you want to microwave the fish for as little time as possible so it doesn't continue to cook and get dry.
I would not recommend freezing this recipe.
 

Cooking Note

When preparing the pasta, set aside some of the pasta water before dumping it in case the sauce is too thick.
