Instructions

Cook the fettuccine in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Season salmon with salt and pepper, sear skin-side down until golden brown, then flip and cook through.
Remove the salmon; add more butter and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream while stirring constantly.
