This simple, yet flavorful salmon and pasta dish is punched up with a tangy, herbaceous, caper topping. For our pasta we chose orecchiette because the shape perfectly cradles the capers and minced shallot, but any small pasta would work well. A mix of herbs will give you a complex array of flavors, but the topping is just as delicious with only one type of herb. When testing this dish we wished we had doubled the topping to slather on toasted bread or fresh tomatoes, so consider making more than you need!
