Ingredients

• 12 ounces Gluten-free pasta (e.g., penne or fettuccine)
• 12 ounces Salmon fillet, skinless
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper
• 0 as needed for boiling pasta Water

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten-free pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While pasta is cooking, cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the salmon cubes in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until just cooked through. Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Allow it to simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes until it begins to thicken.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest, continuing to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the salmon. Gently toss to coat everything evenly with the creamy sauce.

Step 8

Sprinkle with fresh dill, and season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with extra dill and lemon wedges if desired.
