Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the fettuccine in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and reserve some pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sauté the salmon fillets for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Flake into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, and sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds. Pour in heavy cream and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in lemon zest and juice, and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Gently combine the fettuccine and flaked salmon with the sauce, adding reserved pasta water if needed to thin.
  6. Finish by mixing in chopped dill or parsley before serving.
