Ingredients
  

  • 2 salmon fillets 6 oz each
  • 8 oz pasta spaghetti or fettuccine
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

  1. Prepare the pasta according to package instructions in salted boiling water until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
