Description

This is a ridiculously easy and delicious pasta dish that is ready in about 30 minutes. You can use fresh or frozen salmon. We eat it almost once a week. You can use any noodle shape you like.

Ingredients
  • 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
  • 1 (8 ounce) salmon fillet, cut into cubes
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup dry white wine, or to taste
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste
Directions
  1. 1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 12 minutes. Drain.
  2. 2. While spaghetti is cooking, season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook salmon until opaque on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. 3. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 20 seconds. Pour in wine and allow to evaporate. Pour in heavy cream and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook until sauce has desired consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Add salmon to the skillet and heat in the sauce.
  4. 4. Season salmon sauce with salt and pepper and serve with spaghetti.
