Glazed Teriyaki Salmon with Cajun Shrimp over Penne Alfredo Pasta

This elegant yet comforting dish layers rich flavors and textures into a restaurant-quality meal you can create at home. Creamy homemade Alfredo sauce, made with butter, cream, parmesan, and garlic, is tossed with tender penne pasta as the hearty base. On top sits perfectly seasoned salmon—baked until tender and brushed with a sweet teriyaki glaze for a glossy, savory finish. To complete the plate, buttery Cajun-spiced shrimp are sautéed just until golden and placed on top as a flavorful garnish.

The result is a beautiful balance of creamy, smoky, sweet, and spicy that makes this recipe perfect for a special occasion dinner—or just a weeknight when you want to treat yourself to something extraordinary.
