Ingredients needed
Salmon. I used salmon fillets but you can use canned salmon too, if preferred. This same recipe would also be delicious with tuna, mackerel or any other canned fish. Extra-virgin olive oil. Butter. Onion. Fresh garlic cloves. Cream. Heavy cream/whipping cream. Fresh dill. Fresh parsley, tarragon or chives will also be delicious and add loads of flavor. Fresh lemon juice. Salt and black pepper. Pasta. I used linguine but spaghetti, fettuccine, or penne will all work for this pasta dish.
How to make creamy salmon pasta
Can you freeze salmon pasta?
Cream sauces don’t always freeze very well as they can split once thawed. This recipe takes minutes to make and it’s much better when prepared fresh. However, the salmon can be cooked up to a day in advance and kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator before being flaked into the sauce. Leftovers can also be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
