Garlic Salmon Linguine

1/2 pkg linguine
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 c. olive oil
2 cans salmon deboned/deskinned
1 c. chicken broth
1 T. parsley
1/2 tsp. salt
dash cayenne

Cook linguine acc. to directions. In large skillet, saute garlic in oil (or skip this step if using preminced garlic). Stir in salmon, broth, parsley, salt and cayenne. Cook til most of the water has evaporated out, but just enough left to coat your noodles. Drain linguine and add to salmon mixture. Toss to coat.

This is always a standby if I've forgotten to thaw any meat or need dinner really quick. I always keep two cans of  salmon in the pantry.

On ungreased or aluminum foil lined baking sheet, place pork and brush with butter. Sprinkle all herbs on. (I take a bit in my fingers and sprinkle that way, comes out too fast from bottles). Broil for 5 min. Turn over and broil for 3 more minutes. Brush on the other side warmed honey and broil for 3 more minutes til done.
