Instructions
-1 Cook the Pasta -1 Bring 2 ½ quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. -1 Add a tablespoon of salt to the boiling water. -1 Add the farfalle pasta, and cook for 9-10 minutes, or until al dente. (This means the pasta will have a bit of a texture to it still and isn't completely limp.) -1 Once the pasta reaches the amount of doneness you enjoy, remove the pot from the heat, and drain the pasta in a colander. -1 Bake the Salmon -1 After you place the pasta water on the stovetop, preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside. -1 Place the salmon filets skin-down on the prepared baking sheet. -1 Brush with the melted ghee. -1 Season with salt and pepper. -1 Roast in the preheated oven. The thickness of the filets will determine the amount of time the salmon needs to bake. My ½" thick filets baked in 5 minutes. Keep an eye on yours so they don't overbake. -1 Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove from the oven, and let cool slightly. -1 Once the salmon has cooled, break into pieces for the pasta. -1 Make the Vinaigrette -1 Measure out the olive oil, lemon juice and mustard into a mason jar. -1 Season with the dill, black pepper, salt and lemon zest. -1 Place the top on the mason jar, and shake vigorously until the vinaigrette is well-combined. -1 Put Together the Pasta and Serve -1 In a large bowl, combine the salmon, pasta, peas, pine nuts and feta. Toss until incorporated with tongs. -1 Drizzle the dressing over the pasta salad, and toss. -1 Serve immediately, and enjoy!View original recipe
