Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into chunks
  • 1 tbsp Backyard Blendz Fresh Spicy Green Seasoning
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method

  1. Marinate the Salmon:
    • In a bowl, combine salmon chunks with Backyard Blendz Fresh Spicy Green Seasoning. Mix well and let marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Pasta:
    • Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Broccoli:
    • Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and set aside.
  4. Cook the Salmon:
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon chunks and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Sauté the Vegetables:
    • In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sautĂ© until translucent, about 3 minutes.
    • Add minced garlic and cherry tomatoes, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant and tomatoes are softened.
  6. Create the Sauce:
    • Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce thicken, about 5 minutes.
    • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
  7. Combine and Serve:
    • Add the cooked fettuccine, broccoli, and salmon back into the skillet. Toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is coated in the creamy sauce.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve immediately with extra grated Parmesan cheese and a side of garlic bread for a complete meal.
