Salmon Scampi with Angel Hair Pasta

INGREDIENTS

– Angel hair pasta – Salted butter – Extra-virgin olive oil – Garlic – Chicken broth – Dry white wine – Cherry tomatoes – Diamond Crystal kosher salt – Crushed red pepper flakes – Black pepper – Lemon – Salmon filets – Seasonings

Let the salmon sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then pat dry and season. Cook in a skillet with butter and oil, skin-side down, flipping after 4 minutes, and cook until done. Set aside.

STEP 1:

Cook angel hair pasta in salted water, saving pasta water. Meanwhile, heat butter and oil in a skillet, add garlic, and sauté for 1 minute.

STEP 2:

Pour chicken broth and wine into the skillet. Add cherry tomatoes, kosher salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper.

STEP 3:

Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, reducing the liquid by half. Then, add lemon juice.

STEP 4:

Carefully add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Stir in the reserved pasta water for a thicker sauce, if desired.

STEP 5:

Toss everything together so the pasta absorbs the lemon-garlic flavor. Serve immediately with salmon or enjoy it on its own!
