Here it has some celery as well.

Ingredients

Steps

Peel and slightly smash the garlic, and fry it slowly in a good amount of olive oil until it starts turning yellow-brown. On a mortar, add the basil, some black pepper, and optionally chilly flakes. Add in the garlic and hot oil, then smash very thoroughly into a paste.

Boil the pasta separately until al dente.

Season the salmon lightly with salt and sear on high heat in some vegetable oil. Squeeze some lemon juice in the end.

Toss the pasta with the sauce, reserving a bit to dress the salmon.
