Lemon Salmon Pasta

Pat the salmon dry then drizzle with olive oil and rub salt and pepper and lemon juice into it. Heat a pan over medium heat. Drizzle a little olive oil in the pan. Add the salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. While the salmon cooks, cook pasta al dente. Save 1/4 cup of pasta water before you strain it. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside. Add cooked pasta to the pan. Add garlic powder, pasta water, lemon juice & zest, butter, parsley, & cheese. Stir to combine. Then add in the salmon (cut into smaller pieces). Cook until pasta is warm. Season with salt, pepper, & red pepper flakes. Serve & enjoy! Makes about 4 servings!
