Heat the olive oil and butter in a large sauté pan and cook the almonds and chilli flakes until the almonds are lightly golden. Add the garlic, lemon zest and juice and the flat-leaf parsley and cook for 1 minute. Add the spaghetti and peas, season and combine.
To serve: Flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and gently fold through the spaghetti. Divide between warm bowls and serve immediately.
