Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:

  1. Boil the pasta: Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Seafood:

  1. Season and cook the salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon pieces with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Cook the shrimp: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the salmon.

3. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:

  1. Make the roux: In the same skillet used for the seafood, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the cream and wine: Pour in the heavy cream and white wine (or chicken broth). Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
  3. Stir in the cheese: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs if using. Adjust seasoning to taste.

4. Combine and Serve:

  1. Mix in the pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
  2. Add the seafood: Gently fold in the cooked salmon and shrimp. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the top if desired for extra freshness.
