Cook the pasta: In a large pot of salted water, cook the pasta to al dente according to package directions, then drain it.
120 g uncooked pasta
Now, dry the salmon with a paper towel, then sprinkle it with salt and pepper and dredge it in the flour.
226 g fresh salmon fillets, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ cup all purpose flour
Cook the salmon: Heat both oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the salmon and cook it for about 2-3 minutes on each side; take it out of the skillet and set it aside.
Add chicken broth, lemon juice and garlic into the skillet over medium heat and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes; then add the salmon back into the skillet and break it up with your wooden spoon into bite-size pieces.
½ cup chicken broth, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 4 cloves garlic
Cook it for a few more minutes until it's fully cooked; toss the pasta into the skillet, garnish with parsley and serve.
1 tablespoon fresh parsley,
Notes
For best results, before you add the uncooked pasta to the water, make sure that the water is already boiling since starting with boiling water helps to cook pasta more evenly and prevents it from becoming mushy.
