**Salmon and Dill Pasta**
**Ingredients:**
– 8 oz pasta of your choice
– 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into small pieces
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Juice of 1 lemon
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
**Instructions:**
1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the salmon pieces to the skillet and cook until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink on the inside, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the heavy cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped dill to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
6. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the sauce.
8. Gently flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pasta. Stir gently to incorporate the salmon into the dish.
9. Serve the Salmon and Dill Pasta hot, garnished with additional fresh dill and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
