A delicious creamy salmon fettuccine recipe perfect for your Shavuot menu. This dish combines tender salmon with sweet potato and a rich béchamel sauce, topped with nutmeg and crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
1: Preheat oven to 400F. Line 2 small baking sheets with parchment paper.
2: Place your sweet potato cubes on one baking sheet, and the salmon pieces on the other one. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Squeeze some lemon on the salmon only.
3: Bake both for 20 minutes uncovered.
4: Simultaneously, boil your pasta according to package direction.
5: Once ready to serve, prepare your béchamel by melting butter with flour in a pan. Mix using a wooden spoon until creating a 'roux'. Add your milk slowly while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
6: Once the milk starts to heat up, the mixture will slowly thicken. Once it’s thick, remove from heat.
7: Toss your pasta in the béchamel and salt to taste.
8: Top with nutmeg and crushed red pepper flakes.
9: Add sweet potato cubes and flaked salmon on top.
10: Serve immediately.
