Salmon Alfredo
This easy weeknight meal is simple to make and delicious! We love seafood and the salmon wiht the creamy savory sauce is SO good! If you are not into seafood- you could swap the salmon out for chicken easily! This could also be made with shrimp or just the pasta and sauce if you dont eat meat or seafood! We ate most of this and did not have leftovers! Let me know if you try it!
