Creamy Salmon and Dill Pasta Recipe

easy creamy salmon and dill pasta

I love when a throw together meal turns into a “keeper”.  And there’s something about rotini pasta that makes it more kid-friendly! Here’s the conversation that happened after this meal was devoured: 

Brad: You should totally make this meal again.

Me: Really? It’s a keeper?

Brad: Yes. Write it on your meal plan for next week.

Me: I didn’t even write the recipe down.

Brad: Write it down. Go! Now! Blog it.

And so here we are…

I usually buy frozen wild Alaska salmon by the bag. Combine it with some pasta and several ingredients you may already have on hand, and you have a meal in under 30 minutes!
