Salmon + pasta



If you want a dish that is quick and easy yet yummy, this is one. Grilled salmon + pasta + some greenish stuff, in this case it was rockets. While grilling salmon (coated with a bit of olive oil + salt + black pepper) just pop red chillies as well. They are not as hot when grilled. Pasta was tossed with a bit of olive oil + salt + pepper + whatever else you are in the mood for :)
