Dairy-Free Creamy Salmon Alfredo (GF, Nut-Free)
Author: 
Serves: 2
 
Ingredients
  • ⅓ box GF spaghetti
  • 2 (4 oz ) salmon fillet
  • ⅛ white onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Garnish: Freshly Ground Black Pepper, Fresh Parsley
  • Sauce:
  • 1 cup So Delicious Almond Milk/Coconut Milk*
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch/tapioca starch
  • 1.5 tbsp miso
  • 2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (this will make it awesome!)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350F.
  2. Lay your salmon fillet (s) on a lined baking tray. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Bake for about 5 minutes (depending on how thick your fillet is ours was about ⅓" thick). You want it slightly undercooked because you will be tossing this in the pasta sauce. Using a fork flake your salmon into 1" bite-sized chunks.
  4. Boil a pot of water for your pasta. Season with salt and oil (to stop your pasta from sticking).
  5. Add your pasta. Slightly undercook your pasta (take off 1-2 minutes from the specified cooking time). Make sure you save at least 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  6. Mix all the ingredients for the Alfredo sauce in a bowl with a fork.
  7. Heat up a non-stick skillet. Turn to medium heat and add your onion. Sauté till softened.
  8. Add your garlic, Alfredo sauce into the pan. Allow the sauce to come to a boil.
  9. Immediately add your cooked pasta noodles, salmon chunks.
  10. Once the sauce has thickened, taste and season. If has become too dry or thick add your reserved pasta water to thin it out.
  11. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top (and vegan cheese).
Notes
*For a creamier Alfredo sauce: use a thicker/creamier choice of milk like cashew milk

Miso Paste Substitute: 1 tbsp nutritional yeast OR 2-4 tbsp vegan parmesan cheese

Old Bay Seasoning Substitute: this adds a really nice seafood flavor to the pasta, but if you don't have this you can always use 1 tsp any dried herb of choice (basil, oregano, mixed herbs, thyme). Old Bay Seasoning has salt in it so definitely make sure to taste and season your pasta before serving.

Parsley Substitute: if you don't have fresh parsley, fresh basil or dill would be amazing too.

Spaghetti Substitute: Use whatever kind of pasta you like. We personally would prefer a thicker pasta like fettuccine which is more traditional! But we didn't have any on hand.
