HOW TO COOK SALMON PASTA;

• To start creating this mouth-watering salmon dish, let’s begin with cooking the pasta. This step will take the most time, but it’s worth the wait for a delicious meal.
• Select your favorite type of pasta and follow the instructions on the package to cook it perfectly in salted water until it reaches al dente. Once the pasta is cooked to perfection, drain it and set it aside for later.

IN THE MEANTIME:

• Prepare the salmon; if you have purchased skinless salmon, simply cut it into small cubes. However, if your salmon has the skin on, make sure to remove the skin before proceeding.
• Onion and mushrooms – Peel and dice the onion into small cubes, then clean and slice the mushrooms. Heat some olive oil in a pan or braiser and add the diced onion, season it with salt and black pepper. Sauté for approximately 3 minutes, and then add the sliced mushrooms, continuing to sauté for an additional 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring them together to create a roux. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth and velvety. Add seasonings to enhance the flavors. Introduce the cubed salmon and cook until it is thoroughly cooked and flakes easily.
• Finally, incorporate the cooked pasta, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.

Serve and savor this delectable and satisfying salmon pasta dish.
