Tips from the chef: Buy a pouch of 90 second Spanish Rice, or Cilantro Lime Rice for a simple addition to your taco board.
  1. Prepare the Salmon per package instructions.
  2. Bring 3 quarts of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions and reserve 3 tbsp of pasta water when straining. While pasta is still hot, toss with tomatoes, pesto, and enough of the reserved hot pasta water to reach desired sauce consistency.
  3. Divide the pasta equally between two bowls. Top each with a fully cooked portion of Salmon and garnish with lemon and parsley.
  4. In a tall Shaker glass add 2 lemon wedges, simple syrup, 2 mint sprigs, and 2 basil leaves. Muddle to release juice and oils.
  5. Add the 4 oz. bourbon and ice to the shaker glass and shake until well chilled. Strain into 2 ice filled rocks glasses. Garnish with lemon wedges, basil and mint sprigs.
