1. Prepare the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Salmon and Shrimp:
- Season the salmon and shrimp with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the salmon and shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- If using, add the white wine and lemon juice to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
4. Combine Everything:
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat.
- Gently fold in the cooked salmon and shrimp, being careful not to break up the fish.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until everything is heated through.
5. Serve:
- Divide the pasta, salmon, and shrimp among serving plates.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and halved cherry tomatoes, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips:
- For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream, though the sauce may not be as rich.
- Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, such as spinach or peas, to the Alfredo sauce for added nutrition and flavor.
- Serve with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad to complete the meal.
