Ingredients

Serves 4 people

Method

1

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to the pack, then drain and keep a splash of the cooking water.

2

Meanwhile, season the salmon with salt, pepper and half the garlic granules.

3

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the salmon for about 3–4 minutes each side until just cooked through. Lift out, flake into chunky pieces and set aside (discard the skin if you prefer).

4

Lower the heat. Add the crème fraîche, remaining garlic granules, dried chives and most of the cheese to the same pan. Loosen with a splash of pasta water and stir until smooth and warm — don’t let it boil hard.

5

Tip in the drained pasta and flaked salmon. Toss gently so everything is coated. Season to taste.

6

Serve with the rest of the cheese on top.

Tips & Notes

  • If the sauce thickens on standing, loosen with another spoon of pasta water or a small spoon of crème fraîche.
