For my recipe l opted for fresh salmon baked in the oven. It's healthier, it's tasty, no need for anything fancy.
Or you can choose smoked salmon, that's another good option. Perhaps even canned salmon.
Once the sauce is ready, mix it with the pasta that had been cooked according to the packet instructions, then flake the salmon and add it to the spaghetti.
Dill is the best herb to garnish this dish, salmon and dill are a match made in heaven. And if you add a tad of lemon juice, you know you are in for a treat. They balance well the richness of the cream, bringing a fresh touch to the dish, which could otherwise feel a tad heavy.
