- 1 teaspoon blackened seasoning
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter
Salmon
- 1 pound salmon, skin removed, cut into 1-inch bites
- 1 teaspoon blackened seasoning
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Sauce
- 1 small yellow onion, diced (about ½ cup)
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 2 cups (476 g) heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups (200 g) parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add pasta and cook al dente according to package directions (8-10 minutes).
- Reserve 1 cup of pasta water; drain the rest. Set aside.
Steak
- Season cubes of steak evenly with blackened seasoning.
- In a large skillet on high heat, add butter. Once melted, place the steak pieces in the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until browned outside and pink inside. Transfer to a plate and tent to keep warm.
Salmon
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels, and season evenly with blackened seasoning.
- To the same skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Once hot, add salmon pieces. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until seared and golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F. Transfer to the plate with the steak and tent to keep warm.
Sauce
- To the same skillet, add onions. Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add heavy cream, ¼ to ½ cup of pasta water, parmesan cheese, blackened seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Add more pasta water as needed to reach the desired consistency.
- Top the pasta with the cooked steak and salmon pieces.
- Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
