Salmon and Pasta and Pesto, Oh My! So many salmon pasta recipes rely on cream-based sauces, but we prefer our salmon pasta without cream. We think roasted salmon and pesto sauce are a much better match—toss them with some al dente orecchiette pasta, lemon zest and some freshly grated parmesan cheese for an easy salmon pasta that is both healthy and satisfying. Just pan-sear some chicken breasts and slice them, or even shred the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
