Ingredients

• 12 ounces Linguine pasta
• 12 ounces Salmon fillet, skinless
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped fresh
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, season the salmon fillet with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet, flake it into large pieces, and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with the butter. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let the cream simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, reserved pasta water, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a creamy sauce. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce. Gently fold in the flaked salmon pieces.

Step 8

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil for a richer flavor.
