Gather @green pea{150%g}, @heavy cream{150%ml} and @fresh parsley{0.3%bunch}.

Boil the @penne{360%g} in well-salted water until just shy of al dente, about 10 minutes, reserving a cup of the pasta water. ~{10%minutes}

Meanwhile, warm the @olive oil{1%tbsp} in a wide skillet, add the @garlic{3%clove}, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the @salmon{400%g} chunks and sear gently for 2 minutes per side until just cooked through, then lift out onto a plate. ~{4%minutes}

Pour the cream into the same pan, add the peas and @lemon{1} zest, and simmer 3 minutes until slightly thickened. ~{3%minutes}

Tip in the drained pasta and toss with a splash of pasta water until the sauce coats every piece.

Fold the salmon back in gently with the lemon juice, warming through for 1 minute without breaking up the flakes. ~{1%minutes}

Finish with @parmesan{30%g} and parsley and serve immediately.
