Ingredients
Scale
1 lb (500 g) of your favorite pasta (such as penne, fusilli, or linguine)
1 lb (500 g) of fresh salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups (300 g) of frozen peas
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil
1 cup (240 ml) of heavy cream or half-and-half
1/2 cup (120 ml) of grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon (5 ml) of dried dill
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Optional: Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions, typically around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the salmon pieces to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, gently flipping the pieces occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Stir in the frozen peas and the heavy cream or half-and-half. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the salmon and peas. Toss everything together gently until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and dried dill. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
