Instructions
Cook the linguini in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve about 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle boil. Stir in the lemon juice and reserved pasta water, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Add salt, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.
Turn off the heat and add the drained linguini to the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
Flake the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and add it along with the capers. Toss gently to combine.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
