Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces pasta (fettuccine, linguine, or your choice)
- 1 pound salmon fillet, skinless and boneless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Salmon: Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the salmon and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and flake into bite-sized pieces.
- Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Make the Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well, allowing it to come to a gentle simmer.
- Add Cheese and Season: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
- Combine Pasta and Salmon: Add the cooked pasta and flaked salmon to the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything evenly in the creamy sauce.
- Add Greens (optional): If using, fold in fresh spinach or arugula until just wilted.
