Instructions
Cook pasta:
- Cook pasta according to package directions, drain water out and transfer the pasta into a large salad bowl and allow the pasta to cool down completely.
Season salmon:
- Pat dry salmon fillets with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cook salmon:
- In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the salmon to the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden/seared on each side and the meat separates easily with a fork. Remove from the pan onto a plate.
Combine:
- Break up the salmon into large pieces and add them to the pasta bowl along with the red onions and cherry tomatoes.
- Add the pesto into the salad bowl, the lemon juice, and toss to combine all ingredients to evenly distribute the pesto throughout. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water to stretch the dressing a little.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese and fresh basil shreds, if using, and toss to combine before serving.
