Ingredients
  

Pasta:

  • 8 ounces fettuccini pasta
  • 1 pound fresh broccoli cut into small pieces

Salmon:

  • 1 pound salmon pat dry, skin off, cut into 1-inch bites
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning

Alfredo:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded, plus extra for garnish
  • 4 ounces cream cheese cubed
  • 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Pasta:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add pasta and cook al dente, according to package directions (8-10 minutes).
  • In the final 3-4 minutes of boiling the pasta, add the broccoli. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Set aside.

Salmon

  • While the pasta is cooking, prepare the salmon. Preheat air fryer to 390°F. Mix salmon bites with olive oil and blackened seasoning, then air fry for 8-9 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it reaches an internal temperature of 140-145°F.

Alfredo:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, cooking until softened, then add garlic for one more minute.
  • Mix in heavy cream, parmesan, cream cheese, reserved pasta water, blackened seasoning, salt, and pepper until creamy. Add pasta and broccoli, tossing to coat. Adjust sauce thickness with reserved pasta water as desired.
  • Top with salmon bites and serve garnished with additional parmesan and parsley.
