  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g (7 oz) of pasta (fettuccine or linguine)
  • 200g (7 oz) fresh salmon fillet, skinless and boneless
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook salmon fillet until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and flake into pieces.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  5. Return salmon to the skillet and combine with the sauce. Mix in cooked pasta until well coated.
  6. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure salmon is cooked thoroughly for best flavor and texture.
