These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.

Blackened Salmon Alfredo

 recipe credit: https://mrmakeithappen.blog/blackened-salmon-alfredo/

Modified from above recipe.


INGREDIENTS
2-4 Salmon Filets
12 oz fettuccine noodles
4 tbs butter
1 tbs flour
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups parmesan cheese
1/2 cup havarti cheese
1/2 shallot
1 tbs minced garlic
To taste tony's creole seasoning
Blackening spices

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Boil your noodles per box instructions. (Make sure to salt your pasta water thoroughly) Once noodles are done, strain and set aside and add a little olive oil or butter to ensure they don’t stick together.
  2. Begin by making your Alfredo Sauce. Add 4 tbs of butter to your pot. Once the butter begins to melt, add in your diced shallots and minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Next, add 1 tbs of flour (this is optional but it’ll help thicken your Alfredo sauce a bit) – Cook this mixture for 2-3 minutes to cook off the flour taste. Next, add in your heavy cream and bring to a boil.
  4. Whisk thoroughly to ensure everything is smooth. Once it reaches a boil and a smooth consistency, add your creole seasoning a little at a time. (Taste as you go to ensure you get the proper balance of salt and spice)
  5. Now, turn the heat down to a low simmer and add in your cheese a little at a time. Mix constantly to incorporate the cheese and allow it to melt. – About 8 minutes.
  6. Season the salmon with blackening spices of your choice.
  7. In a separate frying pan, cook your salmon (couple minutes per side depending on thickness).
  8. Once the salmon is done, set it aside and begin to mix your pasta noodles with the Alfredo sauce. If it tastes too rich, add some fresh lemon juice – otherwise, mix the pasta with the sauce and plate your noodles. Then plate the salmon on top of the Alfredo pasta and top with parsley. Enjoy!
