Step 1

Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Drizzle over the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat a nonstick frying pan over high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is crispy and golden (approximately 3-4 minutes). Carefully flip the fish over and cook for another minute or two on the other side until done to your preference. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

Add the butter to the pan then add the onion. Cook for a few minutes until softened and add the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds then pour in the cream. Add the dill and lemon then bring to a gently simmer.

Step 4

Simmer the cream sauce for 5-7 minutes until it coats the back of a spoon. Flake in the salmon and season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Add the pasta and toss until the pasta is coated in the sauce. If necessary add a few tablespoons of pasta water.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning then serve.
