- Top with butter and garlic, drizzle over lemon and olive oil.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until salmon is just cooked through.
- Cool for a few minutes, then flake into large chunks – it will break up more when tossing.
- Add pasta and herbs into the pan. Toss gently to coat pasta with pan juices.
- Add more lemon if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately! Traditionally, seafood pastas are not garnished with parmesan but you can do so if you wish.
