8 oz fresh salmon fillet
2 Tbsp Butter

Salt and pepper to taste
½ Cup Heavy cream
2 Tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
Zest of one lemon

- Add shallots and cook for a minute or two over medium heat until golden but NOT brown.
- Add peas and cook for five minutes (if using fresh) or one minute (if using frozen). Season with
- salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the water has reached a rapid boil, add salt to taste and then the pasta. Cook according to package directions.
- While pasta is cooking, add the cream and salmon strips to the saucepan, bring to a simmer and cook on low heat for a few minutes until salmon is flaky.
- When pasta is ready, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
