Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add salmon and poach until it flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes. Remove salmon and set aside to cool.

  2. Add pasta to the boiling water and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Add asparagus during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup of cooking liquid. Return pasta and asparagus to the pot.

  3. Remove salmon skin and discard. Flake salmon into the pan, then add feta cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place over medium-low heat and gently stir to combine with the pasta and asparagus, adding a little of the reserved cooking water as needed to achieve a creamy consistency. Serve immediately.
