Ingredients:

400g farfalle pasta
Salt, for pasta water
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 salmon fillets
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup heavy cream
Fresh dill, chopped (reserve some for garnish)
Juice of 1 lemon
Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1 Cook Pasta:
Cook farfalle in a large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2 Cook Salmon:
While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a deep, large frying pan over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Remove from heat, let stand for 2 minutes, then flake or cube the salmon roughly.
3 Prepare Sauce:
Using the same frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add wine and simmer for 2 minutes. Add cream and bring to a boil.
4 Combine Pasta and Sauce:
Add the cooked pasta and most of the dill to the sauce, cooking until heated through. Stir in the flaked salmon and lemon juice.
5 Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with Parmesan (if using) and remaining dill. Serve the creamy lemon salmon pasta immediately.
