Easy Grilled Salmon Pasta Recipes

SALMON PASTA WITH GARLIC CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain.
• While the pasta boils, prepare the sauce. Toss the salmon in flour.
• Melt butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add salmon and saute for 1 minute. Add garlic, onion, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook until garlic is golden and mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in white wine, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet as you stir.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half. Add cream and reduce to a medium consistency. Stir in frozen peas and cook for 1-2 more minutes, or until heated through. Remove from heat.
• Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

PESTO GRILLED SALMON & PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain.
• Soak wooden skewers, at least 1 hour. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Clean and oil the grates with the olive oil, if necessary.
• Trim the ends of 2 lemons and thinly slice. Add the salmon cubes and lemon slices folded in half by alternating onto skewers (make 5-6 skewers). Brush both sides of skewered salmon with half the pesto.
• Carefully place salmon skewers onto the grill. Grill until salmon is cooked through and opaque, 4 minutes per side.
• Return drained pasta to the same pot over low heat and add butter, Parmesan, remaining pesto (about ½ cup), and juice of remaining lemon. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Add in reserved pasta water gradually until the sauce is glossy.
• Garnish with fresh basil and chili flakes and top with the salmon skewers. Serve immediately.
