1. Boil the pasta, adding the sugar snaps to the water 2 mins before cooking time is up. Cool under running water, then drain. You can steam the salmon over the pasta pan for about 7 mins if you have a steamer basket, or put onto a heatproof plate and microwave on High for 2-3 mins until the flesh flakes easily. Peel away any skin, break into large flakes, then allow to cool.
2. Mix the lemon zest, juice and crème fraîche together, then season to taste. If you need to, loosen with a few tbsp of water to make the consistency of double cream. Toss the pasta, peas and rocket into the dressing, flake in the salmon, then gently turn in the bowl a few times.

  Very easy to make. Used hot smoked salmon which added some extra flavour. Popular with the family.

  I did not use any sugar snaps. What I did was frying two onions with 1 clove garlic and 2 fresh tomatoes. Then I added the cubed fresh salmon,some Bacardi, juice of 1 lemon and then obviously the fresh cream.. and left it 5 minutes on low heat. It was then added to the pasta boiled beforehand. Everyone enjoyed it!

  It is a good start point, but needs some tweaking otherwise it turns out quite bland. I added some garilic to the sauce and a little bit of tomato (not too much.)

  I love how fresh and light this tastes, and it's so quick to make. I always use hot smoked salmon as per one of the earlier suggestions, it really lifts the flavour.
