My husband, Chet, and I both love sport fishing—in fact, we even went fishing on our honeymoon! This tasty recipe is a favorite when we have leftover cooked salmon to use up. It's also great with canned salmon.—Lisa Royston, Wasilla, Alaska

I changed this a lot, left out the zucchini, tomato and mushroom because my kids don't like them. I changed the pasta to a different shape. We all loved it.
