This Garlic Butter Salmon Pasta is a delicious and creamy dish combining tender salmon cubes with linguine pasta, enveloped in a rich garlic butter sauce with a tangy hint of lemon and finished with grated Parmesan. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that feels indulgent yet easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 12 oz linguine

Salmon and Sauce

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, cubed
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Finishing

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
  2. Cook Salmon: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cubed salmon pieces and cook them until they turn golden brown on all sides and are cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Make Sauce: To the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, making sure not to burn it. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Toss Pasta and Salmon: Return the cooked salmon to the skillet and add the drained linguine. Toss everything together so the pasta and salmon are evenly coated with the garlic butter sauce.
  5. Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

  • For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream while simmering the sauce.
  • If you prefer, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a lighter flavor.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best bright flavor.
  • Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it tender and moist.
  • Gluten-free pasta can be used to make this dish gluten-free.
