Ingredients
Scale
8 oz. pasta of your choice (penne or fettuccine work great!)
2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz. each)
3 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Red pepper flakes (optional, if you like a bit of spice!)
Instructions
Start by cooking your pasta according to the package instructions. Don’t forget to salt the water—it should taste like the ocean!
While the pasta is cooking, season your salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Sauté them in a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of butter for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they’re cooked through. Remove the salmon and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and let it melt. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant—about 30 seconds.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring occasionally. Bring it to a gentle simmer. Add in the parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts and forms a creamy sauce. Squeeze in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Flake your cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and gently fold it into the pasta along with the cooked pasta itself.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
