Salmon Pasta

Salmon Pasta with Pesto Cream Sauce

8 oz. pasta cooked (I used GF)

2 T. olive oil

1 12 oz. salmon fillet

1/2 tsp salt divided

1/4. tsp pepper divided

3/4 c. heavy cream

2 oz. cream cheese

1/2c. prepared pesto

2 tsp. lemon herb seasoning

While pasta is cooking, heat oil in skillet and sprinkle

salmon with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp pepper

Cook salmon 5 minutes on each side. 

Transfer to a plate and flake into large pieces with a fork.

Heat another skillet over med high heat.

 Add cream and simmer 3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Reduce heat and add cream cheese and pesto,

whisking in until smooth.

Stir in pasta, cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.

gently stir in salmon and add seasonings.

This was super good and tasty.

It would be great with chicken breasts also.

I served it with asparagus but the original

recipe called for 1 c. peas to be added

with the pasta into cream sauce.

That would be tasty too.

I made non GF pasta for Kirk 

and he really liked it also.
