Lemon Dill Salmon Pasta

Ingredients

• 4 ounces uncooked pasta
• 1/2 pound fresh salmon
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• Flour (for dredging)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 cup chicken broth (or dry white wine)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• Optional garnish: fresh parsley, parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. 1

   Boil a salted pot of water for your pasta. Cook it al dente according to package directions. I suggest starting the sauce once the water's boiling.

2. 2

   Season the salmon with salt & pepper and coat it in the flour.

3. 3

   Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon and cook it for 2 minutes/side, then take the fish out of the pan and set it aside.

4. 4

   Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and garlic to the pan. Let it bubble for about 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium.

5. 5

   Add the cream, dill, and salmon back into the pan. Break the fish up with your spoon into bite-size pieces. Cook it for a few more minutes until it's cooked through and the sauce has reduced and thickened a bit.

6. 6

   Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Toss it & serve immediately with parsley and parmesan cheese if desired.
