Creamy Pasta with Salmon

Ingredients:

• 12 oz (340 g) pasta (such as penne or fettuccine)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 8 oz (225 g) salmon fillet, skinless and boneless
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional)
• Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Salmon: Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Once slightly cooled, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.

3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.

5. Finish the Sauce: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Combine Pasta and Salmon: Add the cooked pasta and flaked salmon to the sauce, gently tossing to coat the pasta and salmon evenly with the sauce.

7. Serve: Garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
