    Method: 

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil for cooking the pasta. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place salmon on a baking sheet and sprinkle with lemon zest and pepper. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until cooked through.

    Meanwhile, add pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions. Add peas to the cooking pasta 2 minutes before pasta is done. Drain pasta and peas and return to pot. Stir in spinach, dill, lemon juice and fennel seeds and toss until well combined. Flake salmon into bite-size pieces and serve over pasta.
