Method

Preheat oven to 450°F.


Brush both sides of the salmon with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.


Place skin-side down on a small baking sheet and roast until salmon is just lightly pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes.


Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.


Add penne and cook until al dente, about 13 minutes, adding asparagus and peas in the last 2 minutes of cooking.


Drain pasta and vegetables and return them to the pot.


Place over low heat and stir in tomatoes, crème fraîche, parmesan and shallot.


Remove and discard salmon skin; flake salmon into chunks with a fork and toss into pasta along with dill.
