DATE NIGHT IN: TUSCAN BUTTER SALMON PASTA

heyyo so today I'll be showing y'all how I make a simple Tuscan butter salmon pasta and I'm just gonna do a quick little like date night in something a little special for the booth so you can also make this one so everything comes back up if you have family and friends to come and visit this is definitely a crowd pleaser for those times as well so let's get started okay so to get started I have some boiling water that I have salt it and to it I am adding spaghetti noodles you can also use fettuccine angel hair or any pasta that you would like will be a good option for this dish [Music] here I have two pieces of fresh salmon that I purchased from my local grocery store in the seafood department and with this salmon a lot of times buying it fresh I have noticed that the skin has scales on it so what I like to do is basically take off all the skin and remove that okay so I had already started cutting off the skin off this piece of salmon and now I'm just gonna pour the rest of it off so here I'm going to show you with the second piece of salmon I'm just going with a knife in between the layer of the skin and the salmon so we're just gonna cut all that off and it's pretty easy to do [Music] okay so I have rinsed off my salmon and now we're gonna get into season in it I am sprinkling some Creole seasoning on it and I want to basically season it evenly on both sides I'm going in with garlic powder I basically use garlic powder and every savory dish that I cook I love me some garlic powder y'all now I'm going to be going in with some adobo seasoning and while I'm adding this seasoning I'm being very mindful of the Creole seasoning that I have used previously because both of these seasonings have salt in it and I do not want my salmon to be too salty Here I am using a complete seasoning this season is basically a whole bunch of herbs combined into one and lastly I'm adding some cracked black pepper [Music] to a nonstick pan I have sprayed it with nonstick spray a little bit of olive oil and also a pad of butter we're just gonna melt all that down now I'm going to add my seasoned salmon fillets and I'm gonna sear them on both sides now I'm going to flip it and what is this you can basically use any meat that you desire you can use chicken breast shrimp scallops you can even grill a steak and put it with this I know that would be delicious as well [Music] once I have saved my salmon on both sides I like to add just a little bit of water into my pan and cover it with the lid to ensure that my salmon can continue to cook and not dry out so now I'm just taking some spinach and I'm giving it a rough chop but this dish you can add as much veggies as you would like it's up to your personal preference if top beauty and cooking is that you can add a little bit of this take out a little bit of that just do what you feel you would like to do just make it now I'm going to cut some grape tomatoes in half [Music] so my pastas all done and out dente and I have strained my pasta now I like to add just a little bit of olive oil to prevent my noodles from sticking all those crispy bits from the salmon are just seasoning they have cooked in the oil and that will add another layer of flavor and now I'm adding a spoonful and a half of minced garlic and with the melted butter a little bit of olive oil and I'm just gonna cook that down just a little bit also I imagine a little bit of salt and pepper in as well adding your grape tomatoes [Music] you basically want to cut these down until they become limp I am adding some heavy whipping cream into my pan and I am using about three-quarters of a carton of heavy whipping cream and I'm just gonna mix that well and let that come up to temperature okay so my heavy cream had started to bubble and now it's time to add in that cheese I'm using shredded Parmesan cheese in this recipe I'm also using the grated Parmesan as well I have noticed that it adds more creaminess to my sauce [Music] okay so I'm adding my cheese a little bit but a little bit until I see the sauce reach the consistency that I would like Madame s finished now I'm just gonna stir that in and let that cook down I also haven't taken a wedge of lemon and basically squeezing that fresh lemon juice in which will add another layer of freshness [Music] while that sauce is thickening up I am basically chopping up some basil I'm doing it in the shipping not if you know what it is basically I'm rolling up the leaves together and chopping it up [Music] now just add that fresh basil into sauce and good bit there's a little bit more I also seasoned this sauce a little bit with a little bit of salt you can taste this sauce and adjust it to your liking [Music] so I have added my spaghetti pasta into my sauce and now I'm going to just toss it into it and make sure that all my noodles are nice and evenly coated with this creamy and delicious delicious sauce okay so I'm slicing some lemon thinly and I'm going to use this as a garnish and also I like to squeeze a little bit of extra on top while I'm eating [Music] so everything is all done and I'm just going to plate it up I'm gonna put my pasta down and top it off with my salmon and a garnish of that lemon that I cut up this dish is perfect for our date night it is so delicious and also even if you have guests coming over this is the perfect dish to make to impress all
