Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces pasta (fettuccine or linguine)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. In a skillet heated over medium oil, cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove from heat and flake into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Reduce heat to low; stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until melted smoothly. Add lemon zest and juice, adjusting seasoning as needed.
  5. Combine the drained pasta with the sauce in the skillet. Toss well to coat and gently fold in flaked salmon.
  6. If needed, add reserved pasta water one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley.
