Directions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine until al dente. Reserve 1/3 cup of pasta water before draining to help create a silky, luxurious sauce.
- Sear the Salmon & Shrimp: Season salmon fillets and shrimp with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon for about 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove salmon and cook shrimp 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Set aside.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant and lightly golden. Stir in heavy cream, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Cook until smooth and slightly thickened. Add lemon zest for a bright citrus flavor.
- Combine Pasta & Sauce: Toss the cooked fettuccine in the Alfredo sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency. Ensure every strand is coated in the luscious sauce.
- Assemble & Garnish: Plate the pasta, top with salmon and shrimp, and sprinkle with chopped parsley, lemon zest, and additional Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately for a restaurant-style seafood dinner at home.
