Ingredients
  

For the Pasta
  • 8 oz Linguine Pasta Substitute with spaghetti or fettuccini if desired.
For the Salmon
  • 1 lb Salmon Fillet Opt for Atlantic or King salmon for moisture.
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt Feel free to swap it with sea salt.
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper Using freshly ground enhances flavor.
For the Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Avocado oil works as a fantastic replacement.

  • 2 cloves Garlic Freshly minced garlic is ideal.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Avoid lower-fat substitutes to prevent curdling.
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth Swap with vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
