Cook the pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the shrimp and salmon:
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the salmon fillets to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the creamy sauce:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy sauce until well coated.
