Method

Prep the aromatics

Finely chop the shallot, mince the garlic cloves, zest the lemon, and grate the Parmesan cheese if it is not already grated. Set everything near the stove so the sauce comes together smoothly once the pan is hot.

Boil the pasta water

Fill a large pot with water, season it generously with salt, and bring it to a boil over high heat. The water should taste lightly seasoned so the pasta gets flavor from the inside out.

Season the salmon

Pat the Salmon Fillets very dry with paper towels. Rub them lightly with Avocado Oil, then season all over with Kinder's Lemon Garlic Butter Seasoning, Garlic Powder, Paprika, Oregano, and Pepper. Press the seasonings onto the surface so they adhere well and help form a flavorful crust in the pan.

Cook the fettuccine

Add the Fettuccine to the boiling water and cook until al dente according to the package directions, stirring during the first minute so the strands do not stick together. Just before draining, scoop out about 1/4 cup of Pasta Water and keep it nearby for the sauce.

Drain the pasta

Drain the fettuccine and set it aside. Do not rinse it; that light starch on the surface helps the sauce cling to every strand.

Sear the salmon

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until the pan feels properly hot. Add a small splash of avocado oil and the first Butter. When the butter is melted and foamy, lay in the salmon and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side. Flip carefully and cook the second side for 3 to 4 minutes more, spooning the buttery pan juices over the top as it cooks, until the salmon is golden and cooked through. Transfer it to a plate and keep it warm.

Build the lemon cream sauce

Lower the heat to medium in the same skillet. Add the second butter and let it melt, then add the chopped shallot and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, just until fragrant. Pour in the Lemon Juice and Heavy Whipping Cream, stirring to combine, and let the sauce gently simmer for 2 to 3 minutes so it starts to thicken. Stir in the lemon zest, then add the Parmesan, a little more garlic powder, a little more Kinder's Lemon Garlic Butter Seasoning, Basil, a little more oregano, Red Chili Flakes, and more salt and pepper as needed. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce turns smooth and glossy. Add the reserved pasta water a splash at a time until the sauce is silky and loose enough to coat pasta without turning heavy.

Toss and serve

Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss until every strand is coated in the lemon garlic sauce. Return the salmon to the pan to warm through, or plate the pasta and set the salmon on top. Finish with a little extra basil if you like, and serve right away while the sauce is creamy and the fish is hot.
