This is another hit from my uncle's restaurant. It is a simply elegant dish, & although it takes time, it will be worth the praise you get! Ingredients:
16 ounces heavy whipping cream |
1 tablespoon chopped basil |
4 tablespoons chopped parsley |
2 tablespoons minced garlic |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/3 cup grated parmesan-romano cheese mix |
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
1/8 cup butter |
1/2 cup cajun spices (see directions) |
salt |
1/2 teaspoon white pepper, to taste |
2 lbs linguine |
4 (6 ounce) portions skinless salmon |
Directions:
1. For the cream sauce:.
2. Sauté minced garlic with butter until garlic is light brown.
3. Add heavy cream, basil, lemon juice, grated cheese blend, & white pepper.
4. Bring to a boil on medium high heat, stirring often.
5. Place on low heat after boiling & salt to taste.
6. For the Cajun Salmon:.
7. Preheat oven to 375°F.
8. Lightly coat salmon with Cajun spice.
