# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and put foil on a baking sheet.
02 -
Stir honey, mashed garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Brush this mix all over your salmon pieces.
03 -
Put salmon on the foil-lined tray and cook about 10 minutes till it's done inside.
04 -
Get a big pot of water boiling, add plenty of salt and cook pasta until firm but tender. Save some cooking water before you drain.
05 -
While noodles cook, warm the oil in a big pan and cook the chopped shallot about 3-4 minutes on medium until soft.
06 -
Pour in wine and let it bubble until mostly gone. Add the grainy mustard and heavy cream, then let everything bubble gently for a minute or two.
07 -
Break the cooked salmon into chunks with a fork and toss it in the sauce. Add drained pasta to the pan and mix everything together. If sauce seems thick, splash in some saved pasta water.
08 -
Mix in fresh parsley, taste and add more salt or pepper if needed, then serve right away.
# Notes:
01 -
Keeping some pasta cooking water is key since its starchiness helps sauce stick to your noodles.
