Ingredients
- 8 oz. penne pasta dry
- 16 ounces salmon skin removed, diced about ½ inch
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced, fresh
- 2 tablespoons onion finely diced
- ½ cup mushrooms fresh, sliced
- ¼ cup white wine
- ¾ cup heavy cream at room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup peas frozen
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain.
- While the pasta boils, prepare the sauce. Toss the salmon in flour.
- Melt butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add salmon and saute for 1 minute. Add garlic, onion, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook until garlic is golden and mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in white wine, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet as you stir.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half. Add cream and reduce to a medium consistency. Stir in frozen peas and cook for 1-2 more minutes, or until heated through. Remove from heat.
- Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- Toss the salmon with flour before cooking. This serves two purposes: it helps to get a nice crust and sear on the outside of the fish, and it also helps to thicken the cream sauce.
- Start cooking the sauce once the pasta water is boiling, because it comes together very quickly in the skillet.
- Use a good quality white wine that you would actually like to drink. A crisp, dry white wine is ideal, so look for Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinto Gris or even Chardonnay.
- Let the cream come to room temperature before adding it to the hot skillet.
- For a spicy kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Garnish the pasta with plenty of freshly-grated Parmesan and as many fresh herbs as you like!
