Ingredients
  

8 oz (225g) linguine or spaghetti

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

Salt and pepper, to taste

12 oz (340g) salmon fillet, skinless and cut into bite-sized pieces

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh dill and lemon wedges, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

    Add the Pasta and Broth: Add the linguine (or spaghetti) and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring the pasta is submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook according to the package instructions, stirring occasionally to cook evenly.

      Cook the Cherry Tomatoes: After about 5 minutes of cooking the pasta, stir in the halved cherry tomatoes. Continue to simmer until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 10-12 minutes.

        Combine with Cream and Fish: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, lemon zest, dill, and season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in the salmon pieces, allowing them to cook through for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the salmon is cooked and flaky.

          Add Cheese and Serve: Once the salmon is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat.

            Garnish and Enjoy: Serve hot, garnished with fresh dill and lemon wedges on the side.
