Tender pasta tossed with flaked salmon, peas and a light lemon cream sauce.

Serves: 4  |  Total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 12 ounces pasta
• 1 pound salmon
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta according to the package, adding the peas for the last 2 minutes, then drain.
2. Season and cook the salmon in a skillet until it reaches 145°F, then flake it.
3. Melt the butter in the same pan and cook the garlic for 1 minute.
4. Add the cream, lemon zest and juice and simmer 3 minutes, then stir in the Parmesan.
5. Toss in the pasta, peas and salmon and serve right away.

Pin Tip

Save a cup of pasta water. A splash loosens the sauce if it gets too thick.

Food Safety

Cook salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, measured in the thickest part, and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
