Cook the salmon: Mix the sauce ingredients in a medium size bowl and set aside.
Wash the vegetables, then cut the asparagus down to 1-inch pieces. Place the asparagus, tomatoes, and leeks on a baking sheet drizzled with olive oil.
Toss veggies in the garlic dill sauce.
Place the filets in between the veggies and top with the sauce.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the filets register 130°F degrees. We want it to remain juicy.
Cook the pasta: Boil the pasta in water and salt, per al dente directions according to the package. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water to use in the sauce, as needed.
Assemble the dish: In a large bowl, gently fold the pasta and vegetables, including all the sauce left on the baking dish. Add ¼ cup of pasta water, more if needed.
Flake the salmon using two forks and sprinkle it on top of the pasta.
Garnish with fresh dill and serve warm or cold!
Notes
Add more salt as needed after assembling the dish.
If you have the time, make the salmon pasta sauce in advance and store in the fridge for a few hours or overnight for best flavor.
