Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Halve grape tomatoes. Zest lemon and halve lengthwise; thinly slice half the lemon into half-moons. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. Finely chop sun-dried tomatoes. Finely chop parsley.

Assemble Oven Packets
2
  • Pat salmon* dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl; season with a drizzle of olive oil, half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. Rub to evenly coat fish.

  • Cut two 18-inch-long pieces of parchment paper or foil (four pieces for 4 servings); arrange pieces on a work surface with a long side facing you.

  • Dividing evenly, arrange shallot lengthwise in the center of parchment or foil pieces. Top with grape tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Lay salmon on top of tomatoes. Shingle fish with as many lemon half-moons as you like; top each fillet with 1 TBSP butter.

  • For each salmon oven packet, bring the two long sides of parchment or foil toward the center and fold down several times until there is about 1 inch of space between parchment or foil and fish and the seal is secure.

  • Roll the shorter ends of parchment or foil tightly to seal packets. (TIP: Tightly sealing the packets will ensure that the fish steams properly.) Place on a baking sheet and bake on middle rack until salmon is fully cooked, 18-20 minutes.

Bake Salmon & Cook Pasta
3
  • For each salmon oven packet, bring the two long sides of parchment or foil toward the center; fold down several times until there is about 1 inch of space between parchment or foil and fish. Tightly roll the shorter ends of parchment or foil toward the center to seal packets. TIP: Tightly sealing the packets will ensure that the fish steams properly.

  • Place packets on a baking sheet; bake on middle rack until salmon is fully cooked, 18-20 minutes.

  • Once pot of water is boiling, add linguine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water (2 cups for 4 servings), then drain.

Cook Scallops
4
  • While pasta cooks, pat scallops* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.

  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan (second large pot or Dutch oven for 4 servings) over high heat. Once pan is very hot, add scallops; cook until browned and cooked through, 1-3 minutes per side.

  • Transfer scallops to a plate. Reserve pan.

Cook Shrimp
5
  • Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.

  • Heat pan used for scallops over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. (TIP: If pan seems dry, add a drizzle of oil.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until partially cooked through, 1-2 minutes. (The shrimp will finish cooking in the next step.)

Make Sauce
6
  • Add sun-dried tomatoes, Italian Seasoning, and remaining garlic powder to pan with shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Stir in stock concentrates, cream sauce base, and ½ cup reserved pasta cooking water (¾ cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer; cook until shrimp are cooked through and sauce has slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.

  • Once salmon is done, carefully unwrap packets. Transfer salmon to a second plate; discard lemon half-moons. Add spinach and packet vegetables (plus the buttery packet juices!) to pan with sauce. Cook, stirring, until spinach has wilted, 1-2 minutes.

  • When salmon is done, carefully unwrap packets. Transfer salmon to a second plate; discard lemon half-moons. Add spinach and packet vegetables to sauce. (TIP: Don't forget to add the buttery packet juices, too!) Cook, stirring constantly, until spinach has wilted.

  • Add spinach and packet vegetables to sauce. (TIP: Don't forget to add the buttery packet juices, too!) Cook, stirring constantly, until spinach has wilted.

Finish & Serve
7
  • Add drained linguine and scallops to pan with shrimp and sauce; toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, add additional splashes of pasta cooking water.

  • Divide pasta between plates. Top with salmon. Garnish with parsley and lemon zest. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: The sun-dried tomato cream sauce with shrimp and scallops was widely praised; a few found the sauce slightly sweet, and one felt the salmon itself was bland compared to the pasta.
  • Ease of prep: This is a hands-on, multi-step dish — some reviewers noted it took close to two hours, with significant time spent on prep and chopping.
  • Suggestions: Consider skipping the salmon if you prefer a simpler dish; several reviewers felt the seafood linguine alone was satisfying and delicious 🍝. One reviewer swapped in cream cheese for part of the sauce base and found it worked beautifully.
  • Leftovers: This recipe yields generous portions — several reviewers got two or more additional meals from it, though one noted it didn't reheat as well.
