Chef Eric Gephart
1 pound fettuccini noodles, cooked
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
5 oz portion Kvaroy Arctic Salmon, large dice
2 teaspoons garlic, freshly minced
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1/4 cup sauvignon blanc
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup parmesan, grated
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoon parsley, chopped
DIRECTIONS
Cook fettuccini noodles in boiling water to proper doneness. Heat a sauté pan on medium to high heat, season and sear the diced salmon. Keep the salmon rare. Remove from pan and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute then add tomato paste, cook for 1 minute but do not get too much color.
Deglaze pan with white wine and whip in the heavy cream. Allow to reduce for 1 minute then add 1/2 of the parmesan cheese, add cooked noodles, squeeze in the lemon juice, and top with remaining cheese. Allow to cook together for 1 minute but be careful not to over cook or the sauce will separate. Transfer to presentation plate, top with salmon and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
