Ingredients

  • 2 Tbl. Olive Oil
  • 1 lb. Boneless Skinless Salmon, cut in half if needed
  • 2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Bunch asparagus, ends removed and cut into quarters
  • 1 8 oz. pkg. sliced mushrooms
  • 2 Tbl. Butter
  • 1/2 Tbl. Lemon juice
  • 2 Tbl. Flour
  • 2 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 8 Oz. Bowtie Pasta
  • 1 Tbl. Dried parsley
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
  • Salt + pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Season the salmon with the old bay seasoning. You can also lightly season with salt and pepper if preferred but there is some in the Old bay seasoning already.
  • In a large non-stick pot, heat 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, place in the salmon and cook for 5 minutes per side. Do not move during cooking! Or it won't form a crispy crust. Once cooked on both sides, remove from heat. Shred with a fork and set aside.
  • Add the remaining Tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, asparagus, and mushrooms into the pot. Cook for 7-10 minutes or until the veggies are tender. Remove from heat and set aside with the shredding salmon, leaving any juices into the pot.
  • Reduce the pot to medium-low.
  • Add in the butter and lemon juice. Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about a minute.
  • Whisk in the broth, heavy cream, and pasta. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • Uncover and cook for 5-7 more minutes until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally.
  • Toss in the shredded salmon, sautéed veggies, parsley, and parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
