🐟 Creamy Salmon Pasta

(Rich. Simple. A dish that doesn’t need perfection — just a fork and good appetite.)

This is comfort food with elegance: thick pasta wrapped in a creamy garlic-lemon sauce, with flaky pieces of seared salmon tucked in. No garnish. No fuss. Just warm, buttery flavor in every bite — and enough sauce to coat the plate.

📝 Ingredients (serves 2):
• 200g pasta (tagliatelle, fettuccine or short pasta)
• 1 salmon fillet (skinless)
• Salt & pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter

🔥 Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta:
Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of pasta water.
2. Cook the salmon:
Season salmon with salt and pepper. Sear in olive oil and butter until golden and just cooked through. Let it rest, then flake into large pieces.
3. Make the sauce:
In a pan, melt butter and sauté garlic. Add cream, lemon zest, juice, and parmesan. Simmer until slightly thick. Adjust salt and pepper.
4. Combine:
Toss pasta in the sauce with a splash of pasta water until coated. Gently fold in salmon flakes — let some break apart, let some stay whole.
5. Serve:
Spoon into a ceramic plate. Let the sauce pool. Let it look honest.
