Lime Salmon with Angel Hair Pasta

16 oz. Angel Hair pasta
1/4 cup Olive Oil, divided
1/4 cup butter, divided
1 medium Yellow Onion, diced
4-6 cloves Garlic, minced
3 Salmon Fillets, skinless
2 Limes, juiced
Kosher Salt
Pepper
1 jar Alfredo Sauce
1 cup Heavy Cream
1 cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and run under cold water to keep from cooking longer and set aside.

In medium cast iron pan caramelize onion and garlic in 2 T oil and 2 T butter.  I like to cook the onions till they are almost blackened.  Set aside in a bowl or use a different cast iron pan for salmon.

Cook salmon fillets in 2 T oil and 2 T butter over medium high heat.  Squeeze lime juice from 1 lime over salmon and sprinkle salt and pepper over filets.  Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side.  After you filp the filets squeeze 1/2 of the second lime over the salmon and sprinkle with more salt and pepper.  After 2 minutes squeeze the rest of the lime over the filets.

Cut fillets into chunks inside pan with spatula.  Add Alfredo sauce, cream, and parmesan cheese to pan with the salmon and combine while on medium low heat.  Add pasta and caramelized onions and  combine well.

If you have left overs squeeze fresh lime juice over pasta before eating.
