Salmon Alfredo

Hello Everyone!

This past Friday, Shawn and I visited a local Italian restaurant for lunch.  We both ordered a pasta dish with seafood.  The Italian restaurants here in Germany are notorious for putting all sorts of seafood in their pasta dishes....and the best part is, they don't charge extra for it.

So, while my pasta had all sorts of seafood, Shawn's was much simpler.  He had a blend of spinach noodles and plain noodles, salmon, and a sort of a Alfredo sauce.  So, without further ado, here is my take on the recipe.

Sauce:
3 TBS butter
2-3 TBS flour
1 pint light cream
1 TBS lemon-pepper
2 TBS Italian seasoning
2-3 cups skim milk
1/2 - 3/4 block parmesan cheese, grated
salt & pepper to taste

Noodles:
Tri-color rotini

Salmon:
3 filets salmon
lemon pepper to taste
salt & pepper to taste
1-2 tsp EVOO

Heat EVOO in a skillet over medium heat.  Season Salmon, and cook until done, set aside.

Cook noodles according to package directions.

In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter.  Add flour, and cook until it becomes the color of beach sand.  Add light cream and spices.  Stir until smooth.  Add 1/2 the cheese, and 1/2 the milk.  Stir until smooth.  Add remaining cheese to taste.  Add milk to thin sauce.  You'll want it thin because it'll thicken as it cools.

Flake fish with a fork.  Toss all ingredients into a bowl and stir until combined.  You'll want to serve this with a caesar salad.  Serves 6.

The one thing that I learned from making my own Alfredo sauce is that it is diverse.  You can tailor it to fit the dish.  Normally, I wouldn't add lemon pepper seasoning to Alfredo sauce, but it compliments the Salmon very well.

I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it with your family.

God Bless!
