- Prepare the Salmon per package instructions.
- 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.
- Divide the pasta equally between two bowls. Top each with a fully cooked portion of Salmon and garnish with lemon and parsley.
