Salmon Fettuccine with Lemon, Cream & Chive Sauce

What’s for dinner tonight? Just the question I was asking myself when the doorbell rang this afternoon. Luckily for me, it was a surprise delivery from Tassal Salmon – a gift hamper chock full of everything I needed to make this delicious Salmon Pasta.

Salmon is a very nutritious food, rich in protein and Omega 3 fatty acids. Great for keeping our brains healthy, and super tasty too. But best of all it’s quick and easy to prepare, which makes it ideal for mid-week meals.

This Salmon Fettuccine only takes 20min to make so there’s no excuse to order take-away.

A recipe card accompanied the 5 ingredients, which of course included some fresh Tassal salmon. This meal was so easy that I thought I’d share it here so you could try it too.

It’s very adaptable recipe, use whatever pasta you have in the cupboard, swap out the chives for dill or parsley, or maybe even add some fresh chilli.

Notes

Fettuccine can sometimes stick together when cooking so make sure you use a really generous pot of water and stir a few times while cooking to prevent clumping together. I like my pasta on the softer side so I tend to cook it a little past 'al dente'.

Not a fan of very creamy sauces? Reduce the cream by half and add some extra lemon juice instead.
