    1

    Start by cooking the pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water and boil the pasta according to package instructions, typically around 10 minutes until al dente.

    2

    While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

    3

    Add the salmon to the skillet, cooking it for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it is cooked through and flaky. Remove the salmon and set aside.

    4

    In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    5

    Zest the lemon and then juice it, adding both to the sauce in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    6

    Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, ensuring it is well coated. Flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the pasta, mixing gently.

    7

    Finish by stirring in the chopped parsley for freshness.
