A luxurious and flavorful pasta dish featuring tender lobster, flaky salmon, and a creamy Cajun Alfredo sauce. This comforting meal combines spicy, buttery, and cheesy notes for a bold and indulgent dinner that feels restaurant-worthy.

Ingredients

  • 2 lobster tails or 1 cup cooked lobster meat
  • 2 salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1–2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 12 oz fettuccine or linguine
  • Salt, for pasta water
  • Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta in salted boiling water according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. Season salmon and lobster with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium-high heat. Cook salmon for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, cook lobster for 2–3 minutes until opaque and slightly browned. Remove and set aside.
  5. Melt butter in the skillet and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  6. Add heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, and Parmesan. Simmer until slightly thickened, 3–4 minutes.
  7. Return salmon and lobster to the pan, breaking salmon into chunks. Toss gently to coat in the sauce.
  8. Add cooked pasta and toss everything together. Use reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
  9. Finish with lemon juice and extra Parmesan. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked lobster meat to save time.
  • For more spice, add extra Cajun seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Swap heavy cream for half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • Add shrimp, scallops, or vegetables for variation.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of cream to maintain texture.
