Ingredients

• 2 pieces salmon fillets
• 250 grams fettuccine pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 liter water for boiling pasta

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining and set the pasta aside.

Step 2

Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the sauce.

Step 8

Divide the pasta among serving plates and place a salmon fillet on top of each. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Salmon with Pasta.
