Method

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of well-salted water to the boil. Finely chop {Onion}, mince {Garlic}, roughly chop {Fresh dill}, zest and juice {Lemon}, and cut {Salmon} into irregular bite-size pieces. Grate {Parmesan}.

   Cook {Penne} in the boiling water until just al dente, about 10 minutes. Reserve a mug of pasta water, then drain.

   ~10 min

   Meanwhile, heat {Olive oil} and {Butter} in a large skillet over medium heat. Add {Onion} with half the {Salt} and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in {Garlic} and cook for 1 minute.

   ~4 min

4. 4

   Add {Cream}, most of the {Parmesan}, the lemon zest, half the {Fresh dill}, and the remaining {Black pepper}. Simmer gently for 2 minutes until slightly thickened, then add {Salmon} and {Spinach}. Simmer for 4 minutes, stirring gently, until the salmon is just cooked and the spinach has wilted.

   ~6 min

5. 5

   Add the drained {Penne} to the sauce with {Lemon} juice and a splash of reserved pasta water as needed. Toss for 1 minute until the sauce coats every piece of pasta and the salmon flakes into the penne. Taste and season with the remaining {Salt} if needed.
