    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Drain, drizzle with oil and set aside.

    Add the chopped herbs and Parmesan, and toss. Lightly flake some of the salmon, keeping some pieces intact, and toss lightly.

    Notes

    Substitute the salmon for chicken and add caperberries for even more zesty flavour.
