Ingredients

• 12 oz Spaghetti
• 1 lb Salmon fillet
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 8 oz Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Frozen peas, thawed
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Season the salmon on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly, then flake into small pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and 1 cup of Parmesan cheese. Season the sauce with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Add the cooked spaghetti, flaked salmon, and peas to the skillet, tossing gently to combine and evenly coat in the sauce.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and toss with the panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling. Let cool slightly, then garnish with parsley if desired before serving.
