5. Fry the 2 other sides of the salmon then place to one side and rest.
6. Cook your pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, reserving a cup of starchy pasta water.

8. Fry garlic for a further minute or so until lightly browned.
9. Pour in 1/3cup/80ml wine, deglazing the pan as necessary, and leave to simmer for a few minutes to reduce.
10. Once reduced by at least half, stir in 3/4cup/180ml heavy/double cream.
11. Add 1 tsp finely diced dill, 1 heaped tbsp finely diced parsley (or to preference), a small pinch of chilli flakes (optional) and a small squeeze of lemon juice to taste.

## Tips

- It's important to reduce the wine so it burns off the alcohol and doesn't end up too bitter.
- Use a splash of starchy pasta water to thin out the sauce if you need to.
