Snap off woody ends of asparagus; cut each stalk crosswise diagonally into 1-inch pieces.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; saute 1 minute. Add asparagus and saute 2 minutes. Stir in hot water and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cover skillet and cook asparagus 2 minutes or until almost tender. Uncover and cook 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook fettuccine according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, place salmon in a microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Microwave 2 to 3 minutes or until fish is just cooked through. Separate fillet into bite-size chunks, and mix gently with cooking juices in bowl.
Drain pasta and mix with asparagus in skillet; add salmon with juices, gently toss and serve.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I enjoyed this dish. However, I would have liked it to be a bit saucier. I added a few tablespoons of butter to the dish and found it to glisten the noodles, and add flavor.

This was good but I think it would be just as good using canned salmon or leftover salmon. I didn't like microwaving the salmon as it gets the microwave fishy smelling.
