Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
10 ounces salmon, cut into thin strips
1 leek, sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
¾ cup light cream
¾ cup sour cream
½ tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons lemon zest
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
8 ounces dry fettuccine noodles
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon, leek, onion, and garlic, and fry until fragrant, about 2 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream, sour cream, and cornstarch; stir into the skillet. Stir in the lemon zest, pepper, and paprika. Cook, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes, until sauce is thickened and salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain, and toss with the salmon sauce. Top with Parmesan cheese to serve.
