60ml (¼ cup) olive or avocado oil
2 – 3 salmon fillets, cut into large chunks

1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
juice and zest of 2 large lemons

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Drain, drizzle with oil and set aside.

Heat 30ml (2 tbsp) oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat and season the salmon. Sear the salmon for 1 – 2 minutes, remove from the pan and set aside.

While the pasta is still warm, add the remaining oil (you may need an extra 15 – 30ml (1 – 2 tbsp), chilli, lemon juice and zest, and season well.

Add the chopped herbs and Parmesan, and toss. Lightly flake some of the salmon, keeping some pieces intact, and toss lightly.
