What I made my fiancé for dinner 🍽️
Lemon garlic campanelle pasta, panko covered, honey glaze salmon bites, baked bread with melted butter & honey.
Boil water in a pot with olive oil & lots of salt, cover on high until you see it boiling.
Pasta:
After the water is boiling add in your pasta.
For boxed pasta cook on medium/high (covered) for 10-11 mins.
For fresh pasta from scratch cook on medium/high for 6 mins.
After it is cooked, keep some of the pasta water and strain your pasta. Set it aside.
Sauce:
in a pan, melt a bit of butter on low heat.
Dice 2 garlic cloves, half a shallot, fresh parsley, 1 lemon and add it all to your pan on medium/low heat until you see a bright or golden color on your veggies.
Add heavy cream, 1 cup of your pasta water, and season with parmesan seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, salt & chili flakes. Let it lightly boil on medium heat.
Once you see it lightly boiling reduce heat to low & add fresh parmesan cheese & Italian blend of cheese. Cover on low for 2 & a half mins. Add in your pasta and give it a stir. Cover until served. Top with fresh parsley.
Salmon:
Cut salmon into cubes (without skin), pat them dry, & season with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, & onion powder. Get a big bowl, add about 2 or 3 eggs, whisk, and put in all your salmon cubes in the egg wash. Make sure very salmon cube gets submerged in your eggs.
In another bowl, add panko breadcrumbs and cover your salmon cubes in the panko breadcrumbs. Once covered in panko breadcrumbs, set the salmon aside on a tray.
You can airy the salmon on 390 for 10 mins or bake in oven on 400 for 15 mins.
Bread:
Get any bread of your choice. Bake on 350 for 10 mins and drizzle melted butter & honey.

Cooking for loved ones can be a delightful experience, and preparing a memorable dinner is an essential part of that. This recipe not only combines flavors but also offers a visually appealing meal, making it perfect for date nights or special occasions. Start by selecting high-quality ingredients like fresh salmon, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and provides numerous health benefits. The addition of lemon not only enhances the taste but also adds a refreshing brightness to the dish. When preparing pasta, choosing the right type, such as campanelle, allows for optimal sauce adherence, ensuring you get a burst of flavor in every bite. Don't underestimate the importance of the sauces in your dishes. A well-crafted sauce enhances the overall meal experience; in this case, the creamy sauce with garlic and parmesan will elevate the pasta, creating a rich and satisfying complement to the crispy salmon. Acquisition of culinary skills such as pan-frying and baking also contributes to becoming more inventive in the kitchen. For instance, mastering the technique of coating and baking salmon will yield a perfectly cooked protein that is crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. Finally, pairing your meal with a simple side of freshly baked bread drizzled with honey and melted butter offers a comforting addition that guests will love. Remember, the secret to a successful dinner lies in its presentation too; arrange your pasta and salmon nicely on the plate, sprinkle some fresh herbs, and enjoy the fruit of your labor with your special someone. Happy cooking!
