Preparation
Step 1
1. Cook pasta in boiling salted water according to package directions. During the last minute of cooking, add peas; drain.
2. Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add olive oil. Sprinkle salmon with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Cook salmon in hot oil 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate; flake into large pieces with a fork.
