Salmon and avo pasta. As it is boiling prepare the sauce by first cooking the salmon in a small pot with the olive oil over a medium flame. I cut the salmon into small pieces, but this is not essential since the salmon will fall apart anyway when cooked. When salmon is cooked, reduce the flame to low and add the avocado. Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Cook pasta according to packet instructions.
