Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook according to package instructions. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas to the pot. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, combine crème fraîche, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard (if using). Stir until smooth and gently heated through.
Add the drained pasta and peas to the skillet. Toss well to coat, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Flake the roasted salmon into large pieces and gently fold it into the pasta, being careful not to break it up too much.
Stir in fresh dill, season with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately with optional broccolini on the side.

Notes

Crème fraîche gives a richer taste, but sour cream works as a substitute.
Optional Dijon mustard adds a slight tang and depth to the sauce.
Broccolini adds extra greens and texture to the meal.
