1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions. While the pasta cooks, proceed to next steps.
2
In a shallow plate, mix together Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Lightly coat the salmon in the seasoning blend and dredge it in flour.
3
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side. Then remove from the skillet and set it aside.
4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard. Saute for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
5
Pour in the heavy whipping cream and fresh lemon juice to the skillet. Stir until the sauce is smooth.
6
Break up the cooked salmon into flakes and add it back into the skillet. Let it cook in the sauce for a few minutes until it's fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
7
Drain the cooked linguine and add it to the skillet. Toss it with the sauce to combine.
8
Just before serving, sprinkle the dish with torn fresh basil. Serve the Creamy Cajun Salmon Linguine with a garnish of freshly grated parmesan cheese.
