1. 1. Cook the Pasta: Prepare the linguine according to the package instructions, cooking it until it reaches the perfect al dente texture. Be sure to reserve 3-4 tablespoon of the pasta cooking water before draining the rest.

2. 2. Make the Garlic Cream Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and lemon juice. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

3. 3. Combine the Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the creamy garlic sauce. If the sauce needs loosening, add the reserved pasta water a little at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.

4. 4. Fold in the Smoked Salmon and Capers: Gently incorporate the smoked salmon and drained capers into the linguine. Cook just until the salmon is warmed through, about 1-2 minutes.

5. 5. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish the Smoked Salmon Linguine with the chopped parsley and serve immediately, allowing your guests to savor the exquisite flavors and textures.
