Instructions

Cook fettuccine: Prepare the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side until it becomes flaky and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Cook shrimp and garlic: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and minced garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
Prepare Alfredo sauce: Pour heavy cream into the skillet with shrimp and garlic. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese melts completely, forming a smooth sauce.
Combine pasta and seafood: Add the cooked fettuccine, shrimp, and flaked salmon back into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Gently toss everything together to ensure an even coating of sauce.
Serve: Plate the pasta and seafood mixture and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh Parmesan cheese for best flavor and smooth sauce texture.
Be careful not to overcook the salmon or shrimp to maintain tenderness.
To lighten the recipe, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream, but the sauce may be less rich.
You can add a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness before serving.
Fresh parsley garnish adds color and a mild herbal note but can be omitted if unavailable.
