3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add butter. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds to 1 minute). Pour in the cream and stir well. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, then add Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Stir until creamy and smooth.
4. Combine Everything
Add the cooked pasta and a splash of reserved pasta water to the sauce. Toss to coat. Gently fold in the flaked salmon and let it warm through. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or a pinch of chili flakes if you like a kick.
5. Serve and Garnish
Plate the pasta and garnish with chopped parsley or basil. Add extra Parmesan if desired.
Serving Ideas
