Salmon and fresh dill are truly best buddies and their perfect relationship shines in this pasta dish ready in under 30 minutes. Sugar snap peas are an ideal complement with their sweet crunch. Remove the strings by pinching each pod at the plant end and gently pulling. A fibrous thread should reveal itself and be easily removed. Super colourful and packed with protein and vitamin-rich veggies, this dish makes a gorgeous main dish for a ladies brunch as well as a tasty dinner or lunch. Using poached salmon is ideal, but you can also use water-packed canned salmon in a pinch.

Notes

Note from Chef Eric: I sometimes poach a large piece of salmon at the beginning of the week and use it as a go-to protein in tons of dishes like this. Toss pea tendrils into this salad to freshen it up even more.
