How to Make Fresh Broiled Salmon With Saucy Cheese Tortellini

  1. Preheat your broiler to high. Pour 1/2 cup of dry white wine into a broiler-safe pan.
  2. Place salmon fillets (about 6 oz each) in the broiler pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  3. Broil salmon for 8-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Basting occasionally with the wine.
  4. While the salmon broils, cook the tortellini according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
  5. In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux.
  6. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Add the cooked tortellini to the cream sauce, tossing to coat. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to adjust consistency.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley.
  9. Once the salmon is cooked, carefully remove it from the broiler pan. Spoon the tortellini mixture onto plates. Top with the broiled salmon and garnish with extra parsley and a drizzle of olive oil (optional).
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
