Directions
- Boil a pot of salted water and drop in the fettuccine; cook until just tender, 8–10 minutes, then drain.
- Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and get it ready for the salmon.
- Tear the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
- Add a pat of butter to the skillet and let it melt, then slide the salmon in and cook, stirring often, until crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer the salmon to a paper towel–lined plate and reserve the pan with its juices.
- In the same skillet, cook the peas in the remaining juices for 1–2 minutes until bright and tender.
- Pour the Alfredo sauce into the skillet with the peas and bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
- In a separate bowl, wash and dry the arugula and toss with the honey-mustard dressing and a pinch of salt.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce and peas; toss to coat.
- Divide the arugula among plates, place the sauced pasta on top, and top with the crispy salmon pieces.
Two tips
- Make ahead: the salmon can be cooked and stored in the fridge for up to 1 day; reheat gently.
- Serving idea: dollop a little extra dressing on the arugula just before serving or swap arugula for spinach if needed.
