A delicious and creamy salmon linguine dish infused with chili oil, perfect for a flavorful dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces linguine pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the linguine according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the salmon fillets to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and flake it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and lemon juice, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
  5. Add the flaked salmon and cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based cream alternative.
  • Add spinach or arugula to the sauce for extra greens and flavor.
