Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the vegetables by cutting the broccoli into florets and slicing the carrots into thin strips.
  3. In a large steamer basket, layer the broccoli, carrots, and cherry tomatoes. Place the salmon fillets on top of the vegetables.
  4. Drizzle the salmon and vegetables with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cover and steam for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the steamed vegetables and salmon. Gently toss to combine, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
