Fettuccine with salmon in creamy sauce
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. To make fettuccine with salmon in creamy sauce, you need to pan-fry or bake the salmon. I prefer baking it in the oven with Provence herbs and olive oil—the fish turns out very tender, juicy, and aromatic, better than fried. Try to choose high-fat cream to make the sauce rich and creamy. Serve the dish immediately.
