A while ago, I decided to do a Salmon and Arugula Pasta Salad. I am going to keep it! Although I am not really big on strong fish like salmon, all the other ingredients really toned that fishy taste down, which made the meal really enjoyable. It was pretty easy to make. The only part I was unfamiliar about was broiling the fish, but it turned out great. If you like strong flavors, you will love it. Even if you don't, you should still try it(:
Enjoy
