Tips:

Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh salmon, red peppers, and other vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
Cook Salmon Properly: Don't overcook the salmon or it will become dry and tough. Cook it until it flakes easily with a fork.
Use a Large Pan: Use a large pan or skillet so that the pasta and vegetables have enough room to cook evenly.
Season to Taste: Taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes.
Serve Immediately: Red pepper salmon pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
