This was really tasty! I'm no stranger to shrimp alfredo but I think the addition of the salmon and bell peppers really elevates it. The original recipe calls for baking the salmon and peppers in the oven; I did them in the skillet, which makes things take longer (since you can't parallelize) but also results in having fewer dishes to do, and lets you incorporate the salmon juices into the sauce.

This was a two-person recipe, but I got three fairly generous portions out of it and I think with a robust side dish it would comfortably serve four, so I've written it up as is.

Hello Fresh

Ingredients

• 250g salmon filets, skin on

• 250g fresh linguine

• 1 tbsp butter
• zest of 1 lemon

Directions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

9. Add flour and stir until well coated, ~30 seconds.
10. Add cream and milk and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened and gently simmering. Season with salt and pepper.
11. Return salmon, bell pepper, shrimp, and accumulated juices to the pan and continue simmering on low heat.
