Today, we have a sumptuous recipe that’s bound to become a family favourite: Our Creamy Salmon Tagliatelle Recipe. This dish brings together the rich, luxurious taste of salmon with the velvety texture of a cream cheese sauce, all perfectly complemented by the freshness of lemon and parsley. It’s a meal that promises both comfort and a burst of flavour, perfect for any occasion.
Salmon has been a staple in European cuisine for centuries, prized not only for its flavour but also for its nutritional benefits. This recipe combines elements of Italian and British culinary traditions, melding the classic pasta dish with the heart-healthy salmon. The inclusion of cream cheese in the sauce is a modern twist, providing a creamy consistency without the heaviness of traditional cream sauces.
Creamy Salmon Tagliatelle pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad tossed in a light vinaigrette. For a bit of added texture, serve with a side of garlic bread, perfect for mopping up any leftover sauce. A chilled glass of white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, would also complement the dish beautifully.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. For longer storage, you can freeze the dish. Place it in a freezer-safe container, where it will keep for up to one month. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
To reheat, transfer the tagliatelle to a pan and warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You may need to add a splash of vegetable stock or water to restore the creamy consistency. Alternatively, you can reheat in the microwave on medium power for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Indulge in the rich and comforting flavours of our Creamy Salmon Tagliatelle Recipe. This delightful dish combines perfectly cooked tagliatelle with tender chunks of salmon, all enveloped in a luscious cream cheese sauce. Bright green peas and a touch of lemon zest add freshness, while a garnish of parsley elevates the presentation. It’s a perfect meal for any occasion, offering both warmth and a burst of zesty flavour.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large frying pan, add the hot vegetable stock and place the salmon fillet in the pan.
Cover and poach over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, turning halfway through, until the salmon is just cooked. Remove the salmon from the pan and flake into large chunks.
In the same frying pan, add the butter and heat over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the reserved stock and bring to a simmer. Add the cream cheese, stirring until it melts and combines with the stock to form a creamy sauce.
Add the frozen peas to the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked tagliatelle to the pan with the sauce and toss to combine.
Gently fold in the flaked salmon chunks. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon and add the zest for a fresh, zesty flavour.
Divide the creamy salmon tagliatelle among plates.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately.
