  1. 1

    Cook the Salmon

    Pat salmon dry and season flesh side with blackening seasoning and a pinch of salt.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add salmon, skin-side up, to hot pan and sear until golden-brown and salmon reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer to a plate and let cool, 4-5 minutes.

    While salmon cools, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Cook the Zucchini

    Trim zucchini ends, halve lengthwise, and cut into 1/4" slices.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add zucchini and half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for sauce) to hot pan. Stir occasionally until lightly browned and tender, 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Sauce and Pasta

    Add cream base, pesto, half the cheese (reserve remaining for garnish), remaining garlic salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, add pasta. Stir often until heated through and sauce has slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    If sauce is too thick, add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Flake Salmon and Finish Dish

    Once cool enough to handle, carefully peel skin off salmon and discard. Flake salmon into 1" pieces.
