Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamy Salmon Pasta
- Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add fettuccine, and cook as per package instructions (8-10 minutes). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Place the salmon fillet on the baking sheet, drizzled with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then scatter the cherry tomatoes around.
- Roast the salmon and tomatoes for 10-12 minutes until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 140-145°F.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, then add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and simmer, then gradually stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and thickened.
- Toss the cooked fettuccine into the creamy sauce, adding reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency.
- Fold in the baby spinach until wilted, then add flaked salmon and roasted tomatoes before serving.
