Cooking Time: 20 minutesPreperation Time: 15 minutes

Prepare the Salmon

Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook until the skin is crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until desired doneness.

Cook the Spinach Fettuccine

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spinach fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce

In the same skillet used for the salmon, add a bit more olive oil, the minced garlic, and cook until fragrant. Add cream and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.

Combine and Serve

Toss the cooked fettuccine in the sauce, then top with the cooked salmon. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
