1 pound short, sturdy pasta (I like farfalle, penne or fusilli)
1.5 pounds fillet of salmon
freshly cracked black pepper, sea salt and crushed red pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for salmon
1 cup shallots, sliced thinly
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
5 anchovy fillets, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
pasta water, to taste
zest of one lemon

1
Put a pot of water over high heat on the stovetop for pasta. When water come to boil, add a handful of salt and cook pasta for about 8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and save pasta water.
2
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place salmon fillet on lined baking tray and season well with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with fork.
3
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium and add shallots, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add garlic and anchovies and continue to stir. Season with black pepper, crushed red pepper, and, if desired, salt.
4
When shallots and garlic are soft and lightly caramelized, add drained, cooked pasta to the skillet and toss with shallot mixture until well combined. Deglaze with wine and reduce for several minutes.
5
Remove salmon from oven and flake into large pieces. Place in skillet and stir gently. If needed, add pasta water and check seasoning. Zest lemon over the pasta and serve.
