Start cooking the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water. Meanwhile, place the salmon fillets in a frying pan and cover with cold water. Place over low heat and cover (if you don't have a lid use a flat baking tray). The water should be just moving on the surface, not boiling or simmering. Cook for about 7 minutes or just until the flesh changes colour. Test by inserting the point of a sharp knife into the thickest part and gently flake the fish. Lift the fish from the pan with a slotted spoon or spatula and drain on paper towels. Spray a nonstick frying pan with oil and heat. Add the onion, celery and zucchini and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes or until soft. When the pasta is al dente, drain and return to the pan. Gently break the salmon apart with a fork and add to the pasta along with the vegetables. Crumble the ricotta over the pasta and add the dill. Season with pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss to combine thoroughly, and serve immediately. |

HINT: You can replace the fresh salmon with a 210 g can of salmon, well drained, but there is no need to cook it - just add it to the pasta with the vegetable mixture. |
