Love the classic combo of salmon, lemon and peppery arugula. Take to work or a picnic. You could use flakes of hot-smoked salmon or trout instead or add a sprinkling of dill.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Use fresh or frozen salmon fillets or steaks that are boneless and skinless. If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before using.
  • Cook the salmon properly: Salmon can be cooked in a variety of ways, but for this salad, it's best to bake or grill it. Baked salmon is moist and flaky, while grilled salmon has a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables add color, crunch, and flavor to this salad. If you can't find fresh peas, you can use frozen peas instead.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the salad.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This salad is best served chilled. This will help the flavors meld and develop even more.

Conclusion:

This salmon pasta salad with peas is a delicious and refreshing summer meal. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, or backyard barbecues. The combination of salmon, pasta, peas, and dressing is light and flavorful, and the salad is easy to make ahead of time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy summer meal, give this salmon pasta salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
