- 1 tablespoon minced onion

- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 pinch dried parsley
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Apply a thin layer of olive oil to the bottom of a large baking dish.
3
Boil a substantial amount of salted water in a large pot until it reaches a rolling boil.
4
Introduce pasta shells to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet still retain some firmness when bitten into, approximately 9 minutes.
5
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a well-maintained frying pan over medium-high heat.
6
Cook salmon fillets along with sautéed onion, garlic, dill, and parsley in the hot oil until it breaks apart easily with a fork, flipping once, for about 10 minutes in total.
7
Combine white wine and cream cheese into the fish mixture, folding it until everything is well-coated.
8
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9
Drain the cooked pasta shells and fill them with the fish mixture.
10
Arrange the stuffed pasta shells in the prepared baking dish, covering it with foil.
11
Bake the filled pasta shells in the preheated oven until they are bubbly and heated through, approximately 20 minutes.
12
While the pasta shells are cooking, combine half-and-half, wine, cream cheese, dill, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper in a saucepan.
13
Cook the sauce over medium heat until butter and cream cheese have melted, taking around 5 to 7 minutes.
14
Remove the cooked pasta shells from the oven and top them with the cream sauce.
15
Serve the dish hot.
