Salmon Pasta

A new salmon dish similar to my lemon chicken pasta was created in my kitchen.  I thought about how good the chicken tasted and decided to try something similar with salmon and the meal was excellent!  It is amazing how different the meals tasted with using similar recipes!  This was a dish I will definitely make again.  What you need:  3 salmon filets, 4 lemons, 1 box fettuccini pasta,  1 cup milk,  1 jar marinated artichoke hearts , 1 can tomato sauce, 1 can zesty diced tomatoes, 1 can oregano and garlic diced tomatoes, garlic powder, dried basil, flour, 1 diced small white onion, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese!
Start off with the pasta since that can take awhile!  Marinate the salmon in 2 tablespoons minced garlic and two juiced lemons. Make sure you get the garlic on both sides.  Dice a jar of artichoke hearts and a small white onion.  Brown in the oil from the jar of artichoke hearts.  When the artichoke hearts and onion are almost done browning, add the salmon.  Brown for about four or five minutes on each side and cook until done.  Take the salmon out when done and set to the side.  In a cup, mix one cup of milk and two large tablespoons of flour.  Add the milk mixture to the onions and artichoke hearts.  Then stir in the can of tomato sauce and both diced tomatoes.  Add more flour if needed to make it thicker.  Cut the salmon into bite size chunks and add back to pan.  Add the juice from two more lemons.  Season to taste with garlic powder and basil.  Pour entire mixture over the cooked pasta and stir.  Serve with a dash of parmesan cheese on top. 
Happy Cooking!!
