Salmon Alfredo Pasta

Directions

Make the salmon:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.

2. Melt the butter in an oven-safe skillet or pan.
3. Place the salmon portions skin side down in the pan and spoon the butter over the top. Sprinkle the garlic, pepper and salt on top of the salmon and place the lemon slices along each portion of salmon.
4. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked through and flakes when cut with a fork.

Make the pasta:

1. Heat a pot of water on your stovetop over medium-high heat.

2. Once it comes to a boil, add your pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.

3. Drain the pasta and reserve about ¼ cup of the liquid in a small bowl or cup.

Put it all together:

1. Place the drained pasta back into the pot. Add in the Alfredo sauce, lemon juice, spinach (thawed, if using frozen), and half of the parsley. Heat on medium-low.

2. Add the pasta water a little at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency and the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat.
3. Serve the salmon portions over the pasta. Alternatively, you can flake the salmon into pieces and carefully fold it into the pasta.
4. Top with the remaining parsley and enjoy.
