2.

Sauce!

Heat the butter in the pan, add the garlic sliced thinly and simmer until the garlic is fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in the wine and cook until the wine is slightly reduced. Turn down the heat. Pour in the cream, bring the sauce to a boil and add the zest of half a lemon. Add the pasta, boil together gently until the pasta is cooked and has absorbed some of the sauce. Finally, stir in the baby spinach and parmesan cheese and return the salmon fillets to the pan.

Notes

Pasta - you can use fresh or dried pasta, but fresh pasta is quicker. I prefer tagliatelle or linguine as it goes well with the sauce. If you use dried pasta, cook them al dente in salted water.

Salmon can be swapped for cold smoked salmon or any leftover salmon

Cream - you can use full fat or half and half, or half milk and half heavy cream.

Don't add any salt before mixing in your pasta & pasta water.
