How to Make Smoked Salmon In Vodka Cream Sauce

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. Melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add smoked salmon and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until heated through.
  4. Stir in garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  5. Sprinkle flour over the salmon and onion mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Pour in vodka and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  7. Gradually whisk in heavy cream and additional heavy cream. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Stir in Parmesan cheese, cherry tomatoes, capers, and red bell pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly. Add a little pasta water if needed to adjust consistency.
  9. Serve the creamy vodka sauce over cooked pasta. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional).
