Boil pasta until al dente. Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat with 1 tbsp oil. Add diced onion & cook for about 5 min, until soft.

Then add zucchini, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Cook for a few minutes until the zucchini begins to soften then add butter, parsley and chicken broth.

When pasta is ready, drain and add to the veggie mixture. Add feta, salt, & pepper to taste and stir with tongs to combine.

Squeeze half a lemon over salmon fillets. Put paprika, salt & pepper in a small dish and add a drizzle of oil to make a paste. Rub the paste over the fish.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and place the salmon fillets (skin side down first) in the pan. Cook until internal temperature of 145F or just under is reached. 

Once the salmon is done, all that’s left is to place it atop the skillet with the cooked pasta and garnish with some lemon slices. Break up the salmon in to small pieces and mix with pasta to serve.
