Full Recipe:

Ingredients 

• 1/2 pound fresh salmon (skin-on or skinless)

• Salt and 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 cream

• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

• 4 ounces uncooked pasta (e.g., fettuccine, linguine, or penne)

• Optional garnishes: fresh parsley, grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil a salted pot of water and cook the pasta al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Salmon: Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge in flour.

3. Sear the Salmon: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and butter. Once hot, add the salmon and cook for 2 minutes per side until golden. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.

4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add chicken broth, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Let it bubble for about 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium.

5. Combine Ingredients: Add the heavy cream and chopped dill to the skillet. Return the salmon to the pan, breaking it into bite-sized pieces. Cook for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the salmon is cooked through.

6. Toss with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
