Ingredients:
For 2 people:
4-6 oz. dried farfalle or penne pasta
2 Tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup of water (to use sparingly)

While pasta is cooking, saute the onion over medium heat in the olive oil with a pinch of salt until soft.
Add tomatoes and a splash of water. Smush ‘em up a bit.
Add the salmon and a pinch of salt and a little more olive oil, stir:
Add a little more water when or if the bottom of the pan has browned too much. Scrape up brown part. Cook until salmon has cooked through-about 2-3 minutes. Add a squeeze of lemon.
