Creamy Salmon Pasta
This Creamy Salmon Pasta is a luscious, flavor-packed dish that combines tender, pan-seared salmon with a silky, herbed cream sauce. It starts with perfectly cooked pasta and bite-sized pieces of salmon seasoned and sautéed until golden. A base of caramelized onions, roasted garlic, and butter provides rich flavor, while heavy cream brings it all together. Finished with herbs and Parmesan cheese, it’s a dish that’s both comforting and elegant. Ideal for a cozy night in or a quick but impressive dinner.
