instructions
    1

    Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. This will typically take about 10 minutes.

    2

    Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.

    3

    While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

    4

    Next, add the diced tomato to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.

    5

    Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

    6

    Once the pasta is ready, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the remaining water. Add the pasta to the skillet with the salmon and tomato mixture, tossing everything together.

    7

    If the mixture seems too dry, gradually add some reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency.

    8

    Finally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top as a garnish and serve immediately.
