1. Cook the fettuccine in salted water according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.

2. Season the salmon with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Cook salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until just cooked through. Remove from skillet and gently flake.

4. In the same skillet, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 3-4 minutes.

5. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until smooth. Thin with reserved pasta water if needed.

6. Add pasta and flaked salmon to the sauce. Toss gently and finish with red pepper flakes and parsley.

Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer after adding cheese to prevent separating.
