Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the salmon with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the salmon and cook for another 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and fennel. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the fennel is tender. Add the lemon zest and juice, and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, fennel mixture, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Divide the pasta among serving plates. Top each plate with a piece of cooked salmon. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot.
