Time 2h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound salmon fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (16 ounce) package mixed pasta shapes (such as San Giorgio® Trio Italiano®)
½ bunch celery, diced
1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Coat salmon with olive oil and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven until salmon is cooked through and no longer translucent, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the salmon is baking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, return to a rapid boil, and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, 11 to 13 minutes. Drain, rinse with cool water, and drain again. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Remove salmon from the oven, cool, and flake with a fork. Add to the pasta along with celery, mayonnaise, and walnuts. Mix all ingredients with a wooden spoon until well combined. Season with salt and pepper and add dill. Place in the refrigerator until chilled and flavors have combined, 2 hours to overnight.
