Ingredients
- 12 oz dried fettuccine noodles
- 10 oz salmon fillet
- 1 lb Shrimp
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions, until au dente (soft but still chewy)
- Scoop out a cup of the pasta water and set aside. Drain the pasta
Cook salmon and shrimp
- To cook the salmon and shrimp, rub the salmon filet and shrimp with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Cook the salmon at 400° on a baking sheet in the oven for 10 minutes, then add the shrimp and cook for a further 10 minutes. Or, use an air fryer: Cook the salmon for 7 minutes, then add the shrimp and cook 7 more minutes. Set aside.
Alfredo Sauce
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Whisk in the Greek yogurt and garlic powder.
- Add the parmesan cheese and whisk until melted.
- Add reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, whisking, until the sauce is the consistency that you like. It should be thick enough to cling to the bottom of a spoon.
- Add the cooked pasta and toss gently with tongs to coat the pasta with alfredo sauce.
- Add the cooked salmon and shrimp and gently combine.
- Garnish with chopped dill, black pepper and more parmesan if desired.
- Serve immediately
Notes
- Reserve: Keep some of the pasta cooking water before draining. You'll be adding some to the sauce to finish it.The starchy pasta water will thicken the sauce and make it cling better to the pasta.
- Dry: Pat the shrimp and salmon fillets dry with paper towels before cooking for best results. This lets the food brown rather than steam.
- Timing:The salmon and shrimp can be cooked ahead of time. I tested this recipe several times in order to get the timing right. You want the pasta to be ready just as the sauce is finished.
- No Rinsing: Don't rinse the pasta. The starch is what makes the sauce cling to the pasta, so we don't want to wash it away.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave. This recipe is not suitable for freezing.
